Flip the Script is our free film education programme for local primary schools in Tower Hamlets and Hackney. It focuses on improving engagement in learning through storytelling and film. Our programme encourages children to explore different perspectives in storytelling and histories, that in turn build critical thinking and literacy skills.

Through creative literacy and filmmaking techniques the programme supports teachers to develop their own creative approaches to teaching topics on the curriculum. This free programme involves Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshops for teachers, film education screenings for schools at our Cinema and in-school workshops with professional writers and filmmakers culminating in a film premiere at Rich Mix.
