shooting for the NHS  
media co-op is making a package of short films to promote the NHS's work on childhood obesity. ACES is a fun 6-month programme of sessions for children working with their whole families towards a healthier lifestyle. Children learn to become more active - and they're taking an active part in the filming too ! film-makers from 5 years old
In a sneak preview at the MacRobert cinema in Stirling, a specially-invited audience watched media co-op's short films commissioned by the CEDAR project.
Children from the age of five who have been helped by the CEDAR project to recover from domestic abuse in their families took part in the participatory films. "It’s so moving how the DVD works," commented Susan Walker of CEDAR, "watching the films gives children permission to go places that are really hard to get to". Watch a clip here

Middle East and media co-op
media co-op's Lucinda Broadbent was invited to coach documentary film-makers from Middle-Eastern countries at a pitching workshop in Turkey. Winner of the $15,000 ITVS prize at the event was Palestinian director Emad Burnat, with "Five Broken Cameras", a dramatic documentary on his village's resistance against Israel's security fence. "A huge thanks to Lucinda for her advice and input" said Emad, whose life was saved when an Israeli bullet hit his camera instead of his face. |
