Abingdon Film Unit
The Abingdon Film Unit (known as the AFU) is a small organisation based at Abingdon School in Oxfordshire, England that enables secondary school pupils between the ages of 13 and 18 to make their own short documentary or animated films under the guidance of a team of industry professionals. The AFU was formed in 2003 by renowned British documentary maker Michael Grigsby and the school's Head of Drama, Jeremy Taylor. They led the Unit together until Grigsby's death at the age of 76 in March 2013. By then, they had assembled a formidable team of tutors; Jonas Mortensen (cinematography), Mikkel Eriksen and Larry Sider (sound design), Nikolaj Larsen and Arvid Eriksson (editing), Colin O'Toole, Duncan Pickstock and Rebekah Tolley (direction), and animators Joanna Harrison and Geoff Dunbar. The Unit has so far produced around a hundred short films, many of which have won prizes or received screenings at festivals in the UK and abroad. Most of the films can be viewed at the Unit's official website (http://www.abingdonfilmunit.com). The influence of Grigsby's distinctive philosophy and aesthetic - using the medium of film "to give voice to the voiceless", explore "the poetry of the everyday" and allow audiences time and space in which to make their own judgements about the material - are often discernible in AFU documentaries, whilst AFU animations celebrate a hand-drawn or hand-made approach.

Many of the Unit's films have been screened at the National Film Theatre (NFT) in London. There have also been screenings at the Dinard Festival of British Cinema in France and at the BUFF festival of young people's film in Malmo, Sweden. AFU films have won first prize at the Oxdox International Film Festival, the New Shoots Festival, the BFI Future Film Festival and the Bradford Animation Festival. Two large-scale films have been made, one in Cambodia called 'Gravel and Stones' and the other in Moldova, called 'One Foot on the Ground'. Both were screened at Raindance and the London International Doc Festivals. The AFU has come to the attention of the press on several occasions through articles in, among others, the Times Educational Supplement, Vertigo magazine and Sight and Sound. Its members have also featured in local television and radio broadcasts.
