THE CINEMOBILE SCHOOL BROCHURE
The continued success of the Cinemobile School Programme is a direct result of the support we have received
from schools, principals and individual teachers around
the country. Last year we held 116 screenings to over
8,000 students in 40 different schools throughout Ireland.
It is to those teachers that we again say a big thank you.
For the school year 2013/14 we are again offering teachers and pupils the opportunity to invite Cinemobile into
their school yard.
The benefits of film are well know: It broadens students’
knowledge of film; expands students’ cultural experiences; develops students’ literacy skills and establishes positive attitudes to life-long learning.
CAN THE CINEMOBILE VISIT MY SCHOOL
Yes, Cinemobile is Ireland’s mobile Cinema and we cover 32 counties in the island of
Ireland. We can go into your school directly or park at a nearby area. However, we need
space of 20x20 metres to screen safely in a location. We carry full public liability indemnity insurance and generate no refuse.
We provide the cinema space, the projectionist, source the film and the copyrights…
and you provide the audience. We plan our tour some weeks in advance, so book early to ensure we get to your area.
All school groups need to be accompanied by teachers.
Each student pays € 5.00 per screening. Teachers are free.
This year, as well as having a great selection of movies and
short films we have also added an animation package to
the list of activities we can offer schools. This workshop
features a presentation on the past, present and future
of animation and will aim to inspire children to think
creatively about the subject. This presentation will give
children a basic understanding of the animation process
and will introduce children to some popular animation
techniques.
There’s something here for all ages and we hope you
enjoy our selection for 2014/15
