Moorland Haunts - Young People's Films

Obsession

Supported by the Lottery through the BFI's First Light initiative

This film, made in partnership with Princetown Primary School, takes an unusual angle on the Dartmoor myth of Kitty Jay, following the tradition that she was buried with a stake through her heart, and therefore may have been regarded as a vampire.

Future Past

Future Past  was made by children aged 10-12 from MED Theatre's Bright Nights group in Moretonhampstead. Through the device of time-travel it looks at the fate of a child of Italian parents living on Dartmoor in World War II.
