IntoFilm Festival 2018

Today we took part in the awesome IntoFilm Fesitval. We were lucky enough to be given the opportunity to allow all children from Years 4, 5 and 6 to visit a cinema to watch one of the films being shown as part of the festival. We visited the Odeon cinema in Sarn, Bridgend to watch a film with a personal link to our school.

On Tuesday 20th March this year, we were incredibly fortunate to be treated to an industry visit from IntoFilm, who arranged for Aardman animations to come to our school. Jim Parkyn, a senior model maker from Aardman came into our class to talk to use about animation and model making and then held a workshop into making a model of Hognob from their Early Man movie. Jim even left his model of Hognob for us in school.

With this in mind, there was only one possible film from the IntoFilm Festival list that we had to go to see. We decided that we had to complete the cycle and take Hognob back to see himself on the big screen.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the film and the experience of visiting a cinema with all of our classmates and friends.
