10:30am to 12:30pm, 20 February 2024, BFI Southbank
This event provides an opportunity for pupils to share their thoughts and discuss the themes brought up in a mini festival of short films, including some newer animations and material from the BFI Archive. The films have been specially chosen for their inclusivity and the wide-range of SMSC areas that they explore.
For example, we will be watching:
- Poles Apart (2017) – the story of two bears who have to overcome their differences in order to survive
- The Penguin Who Couldn’t Swim (2018) – a heart-warming tale about a penguin proving that disability should never be a barrier
- G-AAAH (2016) – a unique animation on a typewriter depicting Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930
