Can you cut it? Film classification with the BBFG, London (10:30 - 12:00)
Every film released in the UK has to
go through one final process before it
hits the cinemas: classification. It’s
the job of the British Board of Film
Classification (BBFC) to view them all
and decide on a suitable rating such
as ‘U’, ‘PG’, ‘12A’ or higher. How do
they do it? And why? What would
happen if children got a chance to do
it? Here’s a great opportunity for
pupils to get the low-down on how it’s
done and meet some of the people
who do the job. This interactive
workshop will allow the audience to
discuss clips and issues and take on
the role of examiner. 

Led by John Dyer, Education Officer,
BBFC and Lucy Brett, Film, Video and
Video Games Examiner and Deputy
Education Officer, BBFC.

level: KEY STAGE 2
Subject: Literacy , ICT, PSHE

Is There a British Art Cinema? Bradford (10:30 - 16:30)
Art Cinema is often seen as something associated with European or East Asian directors. But what do we mean by ‘Art Cinema’, and are there any British examples? Are UK filmmakers too concerned with Hollywood-style entertainment or social realist dramas? It does seem difficult to find space for a ‘personal cinema’ that explores the expressive qualities of cinema in an individual way.

£15, £11 concessions. Includes refreshments and screening of
The Long Day Closes


Tutor: Roy Stafford

Teaching Quiz Shows for the AQA GCSE Controlled Test, London (All Day)

Why should you attend?

If you’re floundering in a sea of long-lost hosts, prizes and formats, or simply looking for a new take on one of the oldest of all popular broadcast genres, this course will be unmissable. The course will explore the history, industrial context and variations of quiz shows over time, expose the scoreboards, celebs, and scandals associated with the genre; and investigate the appeals to audiences and advantages to broadcasters. Just as importantly, it will identify the concepts, skills and knowledge your students will need to achieve the highest grades, and ways of supporting them in their preparation.

What will the course cover?

• A historical overview of the genre: key moments, generic variations, and constructions of ‘knowledge’ in their social and technological context.
• Accessible extracts, resources, specialised knowledge and focused approaches to teaching the topic.
• Analysis of the demands of the test in relation to Assessment Objectives and key media concepts.
• Sample production activities and takeaway simulations to prepare your students for the real thing.
