This report summarises data collected from the first Open University Cinema pilot. This was a collaboration (ongoing as of August 2014) between Open Cinema and the Open University, delivered at SIFA Fireside, a support centre for street homeless people in central Birmingham.
The OU Cinema model was designed to integrate learning content - presentations by OU lecturers with expertise in areas explored by the films - with a 12-week season of films selected by SIFA Fireside participants. The theme for the season which emerged from these selctions was technology.
