Banging Out Film Launch

On Wednesday 16th July 2014 all the hard work came together and the finished film was launched at the Bridewell Hall, St Bride Institute, Fleet Street.

Over 120 people attended including the children who made the film, the interviewees and their families and interested guests.

Before the film was introduced by children from St Matthew's and St George the Martyr primary schools, Glyn Farrow, Director of St Bride Foundation said a few words about the sneak peak he had of the film:
"It is absolutely brilliant and I learned so much from it. Various notions that were unformed ideas in my mind suddenly have shape and make far more sense. I’m not just saying this, I really do think it is fantastic."

Once the film was shown - to rapturous applause - the children conducted a Q&A and their answers were well received.

Peter McKenna, Chair of digital:works, who MC'd the event thanked all those who supported and funded the project - and that was a long list!

The interviewees, their families and friends then descended into the Bridewell Bar for a couple of hours of reminiscing.

Thank you to everyone for making it such a special day.
