Do you want to be involved in a filmmaking activity that will be watched by thousands of people? That will go out to rural communities? That can be seen on the web, too? That brings young and old together in perfect harmony? You do… do you live in Teignbridge?
Those renegades of rural filmmaking, Vanland, are back with Vanland Village Screen. And they’re looking for people aged between 12 and 20 and people over 55 to get in touch for the first part of the project based on real-life research on the experience of the yoof in the Teignbridge manor through the ages.
The second stage will be filming a local unsigned band, and the third will be going out into the wilds of the People’s Republic to show all you citizens what the heck’s been going on. For more, visit Devon and Cornwall Film.
Do you want to get involved, do you know someone who would want to? Then get in touch, either with us here at info@peoplesrepublicofsouthdevon.co.uk, Devon and Cornwall Film on info@dandcfilm.co.uk, or with the Vanland crew themselves on 07754 23285 or contact@blindditch.org. The workshops will run through June, July and August.

Job seekers in the South West are to face extra difficulties in trying to find employment if the proposed closure of up to 22 Jobcentre Plus offices goes ahead.
Equality South West is concerned about the impact any closures would have on the most vulnerable in the community.
Paul Dunn, Equality south West chief executive, said: ‘Many of these offices are in rural areas, which means job seekers will have to travel much further to get to their nearest job centre.
‘This is going to cause problems, not only logistically - what might have been a short trip to their local centre could turn into a day-long expedition - but also financially by incurring further expense to those who can least afford it.
‘The people most likely to be affected are those with caring responsibilities (who are mostly women) and people with physical and sensory impairments.
Paul Dunn said: ‘I have written to Claire McGuckin, asking her whether she has carried out an equality audit on each and every office. What I want to know is: has Jobcentre Plus thought through the impact on local people and their communities?’
Equality South West is also concerned about the forshortened consultation period of six weeks when the government’s own guidelines of 12 weeks.
The offices under threat are in Burnham-on-Sea, Chard, Christchurch, Dorchester, Shaftesbury, Wareham, Wimborne, Axminster, Camborne, Exmouth, Sidmouth, Ilfracombe, Okehampton, Hayle, Helston, Looe, St Ives, Saltash, Wadebridge, Tavistock, Kingsbridge and Plympton.
