(especially with a name like MediaFish which

doesn't really give much away).

So allow us to introduce ourselves. We are a co-operative of

young people, who are funded by LSCash to present film to
other young people. We meet once a week in the Town Hall in
a space of our own which we call the Film Academy (or the
Fishtank!). This is the control centre where we come up with
ideas, organise events and feed our passion for film! Outside
of the fishtank, we programme our own cinema screenings at
the wonderful Hyde Park Picture House for other young people
and their families, for free. We present a variety of films from
Spec action and drama to world cinema and animation.

In this award-winning drama 18 year-old Maja desperately wants to

be an actress. She wants everyone to see the beautiful human
being she is on the inside. Only she feels it’s a little hard to see - Maja
is overweight, clumsy and socially inept. Nothing seems to go right -
her TV debut is an embarrassment and her ‘friend’ the filmmaker
plans to exploit her. Regardless of setbacks and prejudices, she
clings to her dream and is determined to make it with a little help
from an unexpected friend.

Nominated for the Bronze Horse Award at The Stockholm Film Festival

Directed by and starring Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis and Juno

star Ellen Page, this is a coming of age movie with a difference.
Teen Texas waitress Bliss longs for the big city instead of following
her mum’s dream for her to be a local beauty queen. When she
finds a flyer for a roller derby she begins a journey to forge her
own independence and become Babe Ruthless, roller derby
queen. With brilliantly choreographed skate action and a great
soundtrack, this is packed full of excitement, action and hu-
mour.

summer with her bohemian aunt while her parents go to Africa
to work with an aid project, the girl decides she would rather be

Three episodes, three diaries: Leo is sixteen and thinks she has a
great life, but the sudden return of her father after ten years'
absence changes all that. Leo is angry with him because he
messed up her childhood, but deep in her heart, she loves him.
Alì Trabelsi is the same age as Leo –he’s a talented manga artist
but is frustrated at having to work in the holidays as a gardener
for his father instead of spending his holiday in Tunisia. Michele
Mancia is a distinguished retired professor with a passion for old
music who longs for his lost love Maria. Three very different
characters are suddenly brought together as their paths
cross in this sensitive drama.

in the darkest of times and most difficult of situations it is possible
to find happiness and hope. 25 % of the revenue from this film
will go to a selection of non-profit making organisations in India.

wants to be an actress. She wants everyone to see the beautiful
human being she is on the inside. Only she feels it’s a little hard
to see - Maja is overweight, clumsy and socially inept. Nothing
seems to go right - her TV debut is an embarrassment and
her ‘friend’ the filmmaker plans to exploit her. Regardless of
setbacks and prejudices, she clings to her dream and is
determined to make it with a little help from an unex-
pected friend.
