Please visit pages in this section to view downloads of many of our films. We will update the HIV/AIDS section as soon as we have clips from those new films we can show here, once they've completed post production.

In terms of how children and communities see our films, we're careful that they are given opportunities to fully explore and discuss their message content so as to maximise their educational impact.

We do this by hosting in-country workshops where we invite local partners to send delegates who will facilitate discussion and fun activities around the films. They are trained in a variety of learner-focused ideas, as well as hand puppet skills in order to create additional focus, fun, and special techniques to encourage all members of a group to take part.

In some cases, as with the Two Gardens peace-building film and the HIV/AIDS series, this part of delivery will be about challenging beliefs, and so for this particular part of the workshop to be really effective, we send some of the leading names in the puppet film and TV world so delegates can learn additional means of encouraging discussion.

We also provide hand puppets made in country, handbooks, and lesson plan activity guides.

Where electricity supplies and equipment are not guaranteed, No Strings strives to donate cinema bikes, as with Afghanistan, to the local partner. These are off-road bikes with sidecars containing generator, projector, microphone and a screen big enough to be seen by large groups.

Films may also be shown on local television channels. This happens regularly in Afghanistan, for example.

Our main means of presentation, then, is outreach work, by giving the films to local organisations who are often already responsible for delivering a given area of crucial information. In the most simple terms, they're an extra tool for them to use.
