Family Friendly Film Festival 07

FAMILY FRIENDLY FILM FESTIVAL - 10 DAYS OF FILM-TASTIC FAMILY FUN!!

Friday 10th August - Sunday 19th August 2007

The Family Friendly Film Festival is back and bigger than ever! After its phenomenally successful launch last year, the Family Friendly Film Festival will return for ten jam-packed days of screenings, workshops and events to entertain all the family.

A fantastic selection of films from across the globe will be screened at family friendly venues across Greater Manchester, including The Manchester Museum, The Zion Arts Centre, The Imperial War Museum North, The Opera House, The Science and Industry Museum, Stockport Plaza and the Odeon.

From animated shorts to documentaries and dramas, there will be something to interest, enlighten and, most importantly, entertain the whole family. This year’s festival will feature the return of some of our most popular events, such as the “First Flicks” screenings for the under 5s at the Manchester Museum, as well as some fantastic new activities, including behind-the-scenes tours of the Stockport Plaza, one of the few super-cinemas of the 1930s still surviving the UK today, and a rare chance to see some award winning children’s films from abroad.

Interested in making films? The Workers Film Association, and the-phonebook-ltd will all be running a range of workshops during the festival for those you who want to try your hand at making your own movies. Learn about animation and film-making at the Imperial War Museum, find out about science fiction and special effects at the Manchester Science and Industry Museum, or discover how to make films using only your mobile phone.

There’s even a whole day of free screenings and activities with a fairytale theme at the Opera House – where we invite you all to come dressed as your favourite fairytale character!!

All of the events and activities will be low cost, or even completely free, so there’s no reason not to come to this year’s Family Friendly Film Festival and get involved in the exciting world of film with your whole family!
