Young film-makers can learn the tricks of the trade at workshops in Leicester.

During the half-term holidays, Phoenix Square will be hosting three workshops run by Steve Friendship of award-winning Leicester film-makers Large Scale Film.

There will be two day-long courses for seven to 10-year-olds and a two-day film school for 11 to 16-year-olds.

Youngsters aged 16 and over can also try their hand at a one-day Film Making Boot Camp.

The course will run from February 21 to 26.

John Rance, chief executive of Phoenix Square, said: “It is great to have the chance to work with Large Scale, whose expertise gives young people an opportunity to learn about film-making.”
