The centre opened in 1997 when the
country's largest independent cinema operator, City
Screen, opened
the Exeter Picture House. A partnership with Devon Education
Services provided the opportunity to link media education
with the cinema-going experience. It remains an example of
a public private partnership working creatively to the benefit
of each organisation. From a small base of operation and
two staff in 1997, it has now grown into a centre which,
we think, is unique in the country. We aim to provide a range
of services which use digital technology to release the creativity
of teachers and pupils alike.
Our activities include:
- Pupil enrichment workshops
- Staff development and training
- Video Conferencing
- Digital video and audio production
- Educational web site development
- Educational screenings of feature films in the Picture House
- Screenings of pupils' films at the Exeter Picture House
