Produced by a group of students from the London Nautical school who are participating in a film-making programme established by the Cinémathèque Française in Paris called ‘Le Cinéma, cent ans de jeunesse’ (Cinema, 100 years young)

This film was conceived, written, performed, filmed and edited by students. There were adults around, we filled out the forms, kept the batteries charged, mediated the conversations and did the boring post production.

The film premiered in Paris on The 7th of June.

The London Nautical School Film Club Final Film Essai, which they presented at the Cinematheque Francaise in Paris as part of their “Cinema, 100 Years Young” (Le Cinéma, cent ans de jeunesse) programme.

These students are participating in a film-making programme established by the Cinémathèque Française in Paris called ‘Le Cinéma, cent ans de jeunesse’ (Cinema, 100 years young). These excerpts are samples of the “Film Exercises” the students complete as part of their investigation into a particular aspect of film theory. The boys also watch a wide range of films and clips as part of the process of building up to their “Final Film Essai” which is a short film that they take to the international festival held in Paris (Here is the film Essai from 2012)

This year the focus is on the Mis en Scene, so the excerpts you will see on Edutronic TV will all centre around the impact of the setting on the situation, and the effect of various changes in camera angle and position.
