The detail

VANLAND is a three year film-making project for and about young people aged 14+ in the Teignbridge District of Devon. The project was conceived and devised by Blind Ditch.

The project aims to create a forum for young people's opinions of their life in rural Teignbridge whilst developing the skills involved in creative video production. The work starts through intensive film-making workshops.

During the summer months, the resulting films are toured around the county in a specially adapted mobile film caravan. The tour is the vehicle that enables the films to reach the public - the decision makers and policy makers of the area.
