Activities tailored to your students
Want to watch a film linked to a module or class topic? Reward your group at the end of term with a screening? Want to showcase your group’s own productions, on the big screen? Ask about our private education screenings.
Want to inspire the next generation of filmmakers or spice up a familiar topic, get your students more engaged with a topic? We can hold small filmmaking workshops at your school or activity group with a screening at Depot of the results. Bespoke to your topic and level of skill.
We can offer a combination of any of the above; you choose the topic, the film and we’ll put together an tailor-made event for you.

Memoir Of A Snail 15 TBC (suitable for year 11 and colleges)
This gritty stop-motion claymation takes an emotional look at childhood, trauma and grief, uplifted by a sense of hopefulness and offbeat humour that will be engaging for mature young audiences. From the director of the very strange, Mary and Max.
