Today sees the launch of Electric December, the annual end of year online showcase from the Watershed of young creative talent.
From today until Christmas Eve, enjoy 24 highly original snappy shorts from across Europe, chosen with help from students from Bristol schools Fairfield High, Redland Green, Henbury and Katharine Lady Berkeley.
The students, aged 14-15, are working tirelessly behind the scenes, playing a vital role whilst at the same time gaining valuable experience of working on a live project with tight deadlines.
Fairfield High School's Media Studies teacher, Andy Gove, says: “It’s wonderful to see diverse groups of students from different schools pull together to produce a creative project like this. They have really been inspired by working with Watershed – it’s incredible what can be achieved when working in partnership with media professionals. This invaluable experience generated by Fairfield’s ongoing partnership with Watershed has again allowed our young people to be involved with producing a real live industry event.”
The contributions of the Bristol students, as well as those of all the filmmakers and all the young people involved in the project, continue to make Electric December an important showcase for the wealth of film talent emerging from Bristol and beyond.
Hannah Higginson, Watershed's Engagement Projects Producer, says: "I'm deeply impressed by the quality of short films on offer. It is a real pleasure to work with this talented bunch of Bristol teenagers – their enthusiasm and fresh perspective help make Electric December what it is – an ever-popular fixture in Watershed’s busy calendar."
Electric December is the culmination of Fresh Flix: a fantastic programme of films, music, workshops and events for children and young people that takes place from 1 Nov – 1 Dec. Fresh Flix is supported by Bristol City Council and presented by Encounters International Film Festival and Watershed. For the full programme see freshflix.org.uk
