If you are a teacher or parent of a child in year 5 or 6, you may want to check out the free class tours run at some of the Village Cinemas. Groups of 30 students (with two accompanying adults) are divided into three smaller tours and taken through the Ticket Box, Bio Box and Auditorium. They are treated to a combination of practical business information, cinematic history and demonstrations of different sound systems. This is a great opportunity for kids to learn first hand how movies are screened. Designed to provide a resource for teachers of media and visual communication studies, these tours can be supplemented with activities inspired by materials provided prior to the tour by Village. Children can, for example, create posters for upcoming films and have them displayed in the foyer of the cinema for their visit. For more information, contact the manager of your nearest Village theatre. We keep all our previous A Reel Life articles on file, use the heading at the top of this page to click through previous months.
