The goal is to support classroom teaching by providing schools with a powerful experience for their students that links directly to elements of the curriculum - supported by an on-line library of resources related to individual films and more generic topics - essentially an extension of the classroom.

FAUST - we preview an exciting event taking place at the (reputedly haunted!) Usher Hall for Hallowe'en. As well as watching the film, audience members are invited to dress up, arrive early to soak up the ambience in the bar beforehand and enjoy some live jazz, and then be freaked out their skins with a live s茅ance to raise Edinburgh's resident spirits. Karl will give a brief explanation of the FAUST story and we'll hear some of the eery organ music played by Donald MacKenzie; which will accompany the film.
