Introduction

Young Peoples' Short Films About Travel and Transport

Is transport just a way of getting from A to B?
Does my daily journey look different through a camera lens?
How do I travel?

During the autumn of 2007, young people across London used film as a way of exploring these and other fundamental questions about travel and transport in the capital.

Supported by Transport for London (TfL), the Times BFI 51st London Film Festival (LFF) worked with schools to help students make their own short films, inspired by films from the archive, about different modes of sustainable transport and the people who use them. The films were produced at City Learning Centres in three London boroughs and premiered in a special screening at the 2007 LFF.

In this section you can watch the fantastic short films made as part of the project, as well as download teaching resources suitable for incorporation film into your school's own work about travel and transport either as part of or when developing your school travel plan.

This project is designed to link to on-going work in the following subject areas: Media Studies; Citizenship/PSHE; Science; Geography; History; English; ICT; Sociology.
