What's in it for us?

A series of short films and a discussion involving young people from SE1 United. All ages welcome.

Membership of the Community Film Club is primarily aimed at those living and working in Southwark and Lambeth. To become a member email [email protected] or join on the night.

The objects of the evening are:
• to show young people in a positive light
• to get ideas for future activities for the community film club to do with young people
• to encourage young people to join the community film club
• to encourage young people to host a community film club evening
• to show the similarities and differences between young people in the 1950s and now, to help the two generations understand each other and communicate.

The evening will start with an information sheet with questions to talk about before the films, to think about whilst watching the films and then discuss after the films and ask the panel questions. The Panel will include some of the stars from the three films being shown. The questions could be:
• What is different for young people now and young people in the 1950s?
• What is similar for young people now and young people in the 1950s?
• How do young people benefit from attending events like tonight, activities and youth clubs?
• What events and activities would you like in your local area?

The films being shown are:
