2013/14 Primary Schools` Programme

2013/14
Primary Schools’
Programme
“Dim the lights, open your mind and
discover films that fire the imagination . .
Bring the cinema experience to your school.
Pick a film from the following
selection . . or choose your own film !”
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.

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.
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 2013/14.

Animation Workshop
for primary schools
Animation is everywhere in the modern
world from Games, Websites, TV ads to
summer blockbuster Movies
Cinemobile’s animation presentation will give your pupils an excellent all round introduction to the world of animation. It will explore the history of animation as well as covering the present and
possible future of animation, while at the same time emphasizing
that technology is a tool for human creativity. Developing a basic
understanding of the animation process will help to inspire children
to think creatively about a future career in an exciting and growing
industry. Having this information delivered in person and in and out
of the class environment can have a greater impact than a normal
classroom activity.
