Past Lives Project is an Arts Council England and Heritage Lottery Funded Project working in 8 areas across the Midlands. In each region we work with the community through open days, home visits, workshops and events with societies, schools and FE Colleges.

In each region we call out for amateur home cine film that illustrates daily life, local street scenes, people at work and families at play.

Past Lives Project digitises these home movies which are then edited in to new film which is screened with a live music performance.

The performance day includes spoken memories and photos that we have also gathered whilst working with the community, this forms part of an ongoing archive that is available online.

Through our Past Lives Project, Freefall Arts aim to raise awareness about how valuable these films are in the context of social history and to preserve them for future generations.
