Welcome to the new page for the work of Meadows Film Club. The Club has been running since November 2016. It is supported by the work of film Education charity, Into Film. Children at the club watch a wide range of films from different genres, countries and from the 1900s to the present day. 

We have won the Into Film award for Film Club of the Year in 2017 and won the best documentary film award for a film, A Miner's Story in 2019. A Miner's Story also won The Most Innovative Use of Film Award ages 11-15 at The 2019 Film and TV School of Wales Award. The film was screened at both the British Film Institute and Paramount Pictures in London. 

With the support of Ketley Parish Council, we also produced a short silent comedy, The Search which won Best Children's Film at St. Neot's Film Festival and was runner-up at the Noe Valley Girls Film Festival in San Francisco. We also held a BFI Comedy Genius screening of the film with live piano accompaniment at the school and it was screened at Telford Film Festival. 

During 2020, pupils got to interview Hollywood actors and had five articles published in Film Stories Junior magazine. 

All of this is on our previous blog and our latest work is below. 

Mrs. Warner's Last Film Club - 2nd March 2022

This week's film choice is Bumblebee from Into Film+. It's Mrs. Warner's choice for her last film club. She has selected it because it reminds her of the private screening of the film members of our Film Club received at Paramount Pictures in 2019 after winning the Into Film award for Best Documentary. 

Mrs. Warner has supported children at our club for the past five years, helping a number of them write award-winning reviews and worked with them on our award-winning film, A Miner's Story and took a leading role in the project, The Search which also won several awards. Everyone at school but especially Film Club members will miss her and we wish her all the best for the future.
