National Saturday Club: Film & Media for Year 10 and 11 students

About the event

Are you interested in a career in the creative industry? Do you have a passion for storytelling, digital craft, and cinema? Anglia Ruskin's Film and Screen Club could be the perfect place for you!

In this Saturday Club, we dive into both the practical and theoretical aspects of film and media. One week, you'll have the chance to create your own short films with full creative freedom. The next, we could be out in the city's most picturesque spots, capturing stunning photos.

You'll get to experience Anglia Ruskin's amazing facilities, including state-of-the-art video cameras and studio spaces, offering a taste of what it’s like to be a student on a creative course.

Each week brings something new, and you'll always receive support to develop your skills. It’s a fun, hands-on way to start your weekend! We hope to see you there!

About our Saturday Clubs

Our Cambridge School of Art is once again teaming up with the National Saturday Club to deliver a bespoke programme of Art & Design workshops for Year 10 and Year 11 students in and around Cambridge. Excitingly, Cambridge School of Creative Industries will also be offering a new Film & Media Club.

Running in parallel, both fully funded opportunities will see students complete a 20-week programme delivered by our expert academics, providing an insight into university-level study and career paths, and culminating in a celebratory exhibition of their work at Somerset House.

Students are welcome to apply for both clubs, but if successful, would only be awarded a place on one.
