Description

In the summer of 2004 a group of young people with severe learning difficulties from Tuke Special School Peckham went on a journey of exploration to the beaches and galleries of Cornwall. For many of the students in this film it was a unique and profound experience that opened up new ways of seeing thinking and feeling. Creative Partnerships invited Invisible Films to document this journey on film.

Invisible Films was also asked to run a one-day film and video workshop with students on the beach. Pinny Grylls and sound recordist Gavin Marshall collected sounds and images with the students. These were then placed onto a time line back at school. The result was a film postcard of their visit to the beach. The documentation of this workshop forms part of the final film.

Distribution

The final documentary will be distributed by Creative partnerships via CD Rom and DVD.
