Lights, Camera, Enfield! Saturday Club returns for another season of film-making

This year’s Capital City College (CCC)’s Saturday Club members have completed their 30-week Film&Screen programme. The course, which is now in its second year at CCC, involved weekly sessions which ran from November 2024 to June 2025 and took place on Saturday mornings. The next cycle of the club is due to start on Saturday 8th November 2025 and will run every Saturday from 10am to 1pm until July 2026.

The National Saturday Club is a free initiative that offers young people aged 13-16 the opportunity to explore a number of activities and skills at their local college, university or cultural institution. National Saturday Clubs encourage participants to learn more about their abilities and discover new talents while meeting new people.

This year, Saturday Club members enjoyed an exciting and enriching schedule, including visits to Central Saint Martins and the Whitechapel Gallery in London. They also participated in a trip to Warner Brothers Studios, where they took part in a masterclass and gained insights into careers within film production. For the upcoming cycle, the London visit has already been booked for 22nd November at Central Saint Martins, followed by a cultural visit to the Imperial War Museum.

CCC’s Saturday Club Film&Screen programme also included a number of hands-on workshops. The Art of Movie Makeup, inspired by the Harry Potter films, enabled members to learn about physical aspects of character creation using wigs, makeup and prosthetics from the Harry Potter franchise. During the Costume Distressing workshop, they broke down the process of designing and producing costumes, analysing how and why costume designers create realistic wear and tear on garments to bring characters to life. In The Art of Foley, members discovered the crucial role of sound in film, getting first-hand experience as a foley artist.

To celebrate the completion and the achievements of CCC’s Film&Screen programme, the National Saturday Club hosted a Graduation and Summer Show at Somerset House from 12 to 15 July. The event showcased the fantastic work of National Saturday Clubs across the country across a variety of creative subjects.

Natasha Amegbe, Lecturer in Creative & Digital Media at CCC and Saturday Club Film&Screen Tutor, said: “Our National Saturday Club Film&Screen at Capital City College has been a good way for younger individuals 13+ to develop practical skills in their chosen area of interest, using equipment and developing projects that they might not have an opportunity to do so at school. As it is run on-site at college, it allows them to begin to experience education, post school. Which in turn is helping to foster future career choices, building social skills and inspiring creativity.”
