EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Broadway's unique Education and Training Programme is central to our commitment to offer a distinctive cinema-going experience for our audience. For those coming to see films at Broadway, you will see that education includes:

:: Short introductions to films screening as part of the main programme
:: Introductions and post-film question-and-answer sessions with the filmmakers themselves
:: Illustrated talks on specific film genres or the work of particular directors


Broadway also runs daytime and evening courses for anyone interested in learning more about cinema. We offer courses in three main seasons (roughly following the academic year). These include:

:: Introductions to film studies
:: Surveys of national cinemas
:: Courses on particular types of film (e.g. film noir).

The courses are open to anyone with an interest in cinema. Groups are small enough to encourage participation and are led by experienced tutors, many of whom are academics from local universities.

We also provide more practically oriented courses for those wishing to learn more about making a film. These are run by professionals and benefit from their experience of working as practitioners. Courses include Scriptwriting and Directing Drama.

Following the legacy left by Intemedia Film & Video (for further details see 'The Background Story' below), Broadway continues to offer film and video production expertise through bespoke training projects. We have worked recently with schools, museums and drama groups across the East Midlands giving young people of all ages a unique creative learning experience. Broadway work closely with the local film-making community, often employing freelance tutors and industry professionals to work with young people on our projects.

THE BACKGROUND STORY
As an organisation Broadway has a vast amount of experience in film and video production. In 2004, Broadway merged with Intermedia Film & Video, an organization dedicated to encouraging and supporting film development across the East Midlands. Intermedia has developed and produced a number of features, shorts, documentaries, community and educational projects over the years, working and collaborating with organizations including the UK film council, BBC, Filmfour, Carlton TV, ITV, First light and Heritage lottery.

Intermedia Film & Video's legacy is best defined through the 'Headstart' production training course. 'Headstart' concentrated specifically on film and video and ran over a year period. It was a huge accomplishment, with many graduates going successfully into the film industry as freelancers and producers in their own right. Particular success stories include feature film directors Shane Meadows (Dead Man's Shoes and This is England), Steven Sheil (Mum & Dad) and Chris Cooke (One for the Road), documentary director Jeanie Finlay (Love Bites, Teenland), as well as producers Al Clark and Rachel Robey who make up Wellington films (London to Brighton). Many of the above have continued to work, not only within the region, but within Broadway.

Since the merger, Broadway has continued to develop and support film production and the freelance community throughout the East Midlands. Collaborating with a number of high profile organizations including the NHS, City council, Victim Support Nottingham and the Media Trust. Recently Broadway has worked on a number of educational projects with young people including schools groups, colleges and community groups.

Broadway continues to bring a creative and innovative approach to film production and education. Through our production facilities and links with professional technicians and creative artists, we are able to offer a high standard of bespoke technical training and ideas development.
