BCH Film Festival Brings Movie Magic To Patients and Families

Our first-ever BCH Film Festival brought a weekend of creativity, imagination and movie magic to our patients and families, with a fantastic programme of film screenings and exciting film-themed activities.

Held in partnership with our friends at MediCinema and Flatpack Projects, the festival featured a special screening of Forgotten Island, alongside a whole host of interactive activities for our patients and their families to get involved in.

The wonderful Gemma from stop-motion animation studio Let’s Animate held workshops to teach our patients how to create their own characters and bring them to life in a short film

Our patients also took part in fantastic activities offered by Flatpack Projects, including colourful arts and crafts, film bingo, and sensory touch screen experiences for SEND children (special educational needs and disabilities), involving touching, smelling and listening.

For children who couldn’t come down to our MediCinema to join in the fun, we brought the excitement to them. Flatpack gave activity books to kids on the wards, so as many of our patients as possible could enjoy the fun and creativity of our BCH Film Festival.
