Sprowston's 5th Community Film Festival hit the big screen on Thursday night when students and film makers of all ages came together with their families and friends to watch the films they have been busily making over the past few months.

Organised by Sprowston Community High as part of their Arts in the Community programme, the festival screened contributions from Falcon Junior School, Hall School, Sprowston Junior School, White Woman Lane Junior School, Woodland View Junior School, Sprowston Heritage and students from the High School.

The film festival was first launched in 2005 to encourage all sections of the community to get involved, be inspired, and create a short film. Since then it has grown to become a popular, annual event which many students and the local community look forward to.
