The Beautiful Things About is a documentary film about Parr, created by children at Broad Oak Community Primary School with artists Andy Field and Beckie Darlington. Presented by Heart of Glass as part of Project Parr, this is the story of a place told by some of its youngest inhabitants.
The film features interviews with members of the local community – from taxi drivers and teachers to chip shop owners and former miners – and tells the story of Parr through the children’s eyes. Every part of the project has been shaped by children ages 8 to 11 as they explore their neighbourhood and imagine its future.
We produced film posters and press adverts with a glowing five-star review to share the documentary with the local community.
