Grove Roots Screening Tour
Grove Roots Wins Prestigious Award
The Grove Roots Crew won the best film award in the youth film category at the Portobello Film Festival in the autumn 2009.
Over 700 films were submitted and the young people fended off some tough competition from across the globe!
Our generous young professionals thanked the Octavia Foundation and the Heritage Lottery Fund from the stage, as well as the festival itself for awarding them.
The award was a Trellick Tower shaped statue (fitting given that it features in Grove Roots!) and the young people have vowed to share it. Young participant Rae Evelyn said Grove Roots was "the best thing she had ever done in her life".
Grove Roots had its world premiere in the illustrious and iconic Electric Cinema on Portobello Road on 27th Feb, which kicked off the London-wide screening tour of the film. The first screening was met with rapturous applause from the audience and congratulations from the floor; from local councillors, film-makers, interviewees and proud parents.
The film premiere has been featured on London Tonight, the Observer, Regeneration & Renewal, the Daily Telegraph, the Evening Standard and The Voice.
