Resist – Things Artist Do Whilst Learning To Teach | Freelands Foundation

Documenting the importance of art in education for the Freelands Foundation
 

The Challenge Of Artist Teachers

‘Resist – Things Artists Do Whilst Learning to Teach’ is the culmination of a collaboration between artist-teachers from the Art & Design PGCE course at the Institute of Education, University College London, and the Freelands Foundation. 

Artist teachers in Greater London were invited to reflect on their position in schools, investigate their new context, and make an artwork in response.

An Assertive Education Project

The outputs of the ‘Resist’ project include an exhibition, publication, and documentary. “To be an art teacher is a political thing, it always will be, until society or the education system at large recognises the value of arts more widely,” is the powerful quote that kicks off the film.

Would highly recommend Chocolate Films. The end product was fantastic, they grasped exactly what we wanted straight away and were efficient and professional to work with. All for a great price too.
We had a wonderful experience working with Chocolate Films to create our new Hero Promo Video. They were easy to work with, knowledgable about what worked best, quick to respond to all emails and edits and we got exactly the end result we wanted. We had a fun shoot day and the editing process was super easy. We highly recommend Chocolate Films and would love to work with them again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Chocolate Films on a recent project to make a short film and from start to finish, it was an incredibly positive experience. From working with filmmakers Elton and Philippe on the day of filming, and working with Mary in the pre-planning, and editing afterwards, we were in very capable hands throughout the project. I would very much recommend Chocolate Films and would be delighted if I had the opportunity to work them again.

We worked with Chocolate Films to deliver a live stream for an exhibition, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They handled all aspects of the production, including audio, filming, live streaming, and post-production edits, and everything was delivered to a high standard. The team was incredibly easy to work with, professional, organised, and attentive throughout the process. A special mention goes to Morgan, who was outstanding. She was highly attentive, communicative, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we felt supported at every stage. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chocolate Films to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality streaming and production partner.

Trust Chocolate Films team to deliver on a promise. Having worked with various productions houses, I can vouch that CF has one of the most professional, creative and warm teams that goes above and beyond to deliver. They don't just work to deliver, they excel at what they do. We worked on a health awareness campaign and we were pleased with the outcome as well as the experience. And we look forward to collaborating with them on more upcoming campaigns.

We worked with Chocolate Films to create a series of explainer animations. Anna and Mary managed the project and were a pleasure to work with. Everything was very efficient and they were really flexible with our timelines and needs. Would definitely recommend working with Chocolate.

Culture Croydon has had a great experience working with Chocolate Films creating social-first reels and highlights films for our events. The team have been excellent at turning around the content quickly to meet our tight deadlines, and perfectly executing the films to meet the brief.
We worked with Chocolate Films on our rebrand videos and couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was knowledgeable, supportive, and a real pleasure to work with throughout the process. They did an excellent job using video and animation to bring our new brand to life, capturing exactly what we wanted to convey. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a creative and reliable video partner.
