We recently celebrated the incredible talent of our Through the Lens programme learners with a special screening at the Cameo Picturehouse!

Over the past year, adults within their communities of North Edinburgh based at SEE, Southeast Edinburgh based at Craigmillar Library, and Southwest Edinburgh based at WHALE Arts, as well pupils from Wester Hailes, Castlebrae, and Craigroyston High Schools created 13 powerful short films, with their friends, families, and invited guests in attendance to see their work on the big screen. 

We were also treated to a post-screening Q&A where learners shared insight into their filmmaking journey and creative process.

Huge thanks to our amazing supporters for thie programme, Screen Scotland, The Robertson Trust, and City of Edinburgh Council. We’re so proud of the work achieved by people engaging with film for the first time and can’t wait to see where their creativity takes them next!
