The Outcast Jester
A poetry and film project with performance poet Adisa and Chocolate Films, as part of Stream's Youth Programme, with young people 11-14 from Greenwich.
Chocolate Films worked with the young people on a series of film production workshops as part of Greenwich's Summer University. This was followed up by ideas and script writing sessions using poetry to develop the narrative for the film. The young people went on to use a range of film techniques including animation and green-screening to create the imagery for the film.
The Outcast Jester charts the life of the Millennium Dome as the O2, reflecting on this timespan, their own lives and the culture in which they live.
