As part of their media course, 28 students from West London College Creative Media Production and Technology UAL Level 3 went on a trip to Riverside Studios in Hammersmith last week to see Oscar winning Everything, Everywhere All at Once.
The students went along as part of the BFI Into Film Festival, a film festival for students consisting of free film screenings, workshops and talks by film industry professionals.
Before the film started there was a lecture by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) about how films are rated age appropriately, including Everything, Everywhere All at Once.
Rashayne Ezekiel Brown, one of the students on the trip said: “I enjoyed the trip as the movie wasn’t a movie I would have picked for my preference, however I really enjoyed it and it opened my horizons and inspired me to broaden my movie choices. Also, the presentation by the BBFC helped me to understand how movies get rated before being allowed to be shown in cinemas. Overall, this trip was really useful to help me expand my knowledge of the film industry.”
Fellow classmate Ashira Ngandu said: “I enjoyed the movie and the trip because it allowed us to experience different aspects of the film industry. It also allowed us to get references that were in the film and and gave me inspiration for my own work. This trip has helped me understand what the BBFC do and how important their job is for the film industry.”
