“Discover Young Hackney’ is Hackney council’s yearly youth arts and culture funded festival aiming to give young people the tools, skills and professional support in careers into the arts and creative industries.

As part of the festival Hackney Children’s Theatre in partnership and association with Glocal Films and Immediate Theatre, a film conversation was made

between two very different groups of people, elderly women aged 55 + and young people aged 15-18. After participating in an initial online filmmaking tutorial, covering basic filmmaking skills with the use of mobile phones, the two groups began sending video letters to each other, filmed with their accessible technology.
