Lightbox Projects is an initiative set up by Laura Kloss to teach and inspire children about cinema heritage. Through immersive, interactive experiences, installations and workshops children learn about cinematic treasures and film making techniques from the past. In an age where digital mediums are taking over we look back at silent cinema, 16mm film, magic lanterns, sound recording and the play of light and shadow in fun, creative, innovative ways suitable for all ages.

Workshops include:

Drawing on 16mm Film

Silhouette Stop Motion Animation

Make Some Noise! Foley Workshop

Zoetropes

Thaumatropes

Kaleidoscopes

Flipbooks

Lightbox Projects travel round the country and are happy to collaborate with a wide variety of organisations, with experience with festivals, museums, art galleries, schools and universities and community groups. We have an open and flexible approach and are DBS checked, have safeguarding training and familiar working with diverse groups including vulnerable adults and SEND young people. Previous delivery partners include CineMagic Festival in Belfast, Bromley Family Film Fest, Flatpack Film Festival in Birmingham, No Direction Home music festivals, Pop Up Festival of Stories and Curzon Cinemas London.

In 2010 we won the Drawing Inspiration Awards Highly Commended Award at The Big Draw Festival for our drawing on 16mm film workshop.
