Second Year of the Barbican Film Box

Barbican Box

Eelyn Lee will be working with the Barbican Centre for the second year running in designing and delivering their Barbican Box for filmmaking.

Inspired by the Barbican’s world class arts programme, the Barbican Box is, literally, a portable box filled with the ‘ingredients’ for making and creating either theatre or film.

Created in collaboration with artists, the Boxes contain a range of stimuli designed to encourage an imaginative, adventurous approach to arts learning and are accompanied by a bespoke package of learning resources for each art form.

'The films the AS class made turned out to be excellent, and the majority of the students scored really high grades.'
Alex, Skinners Academy
