Would-be actors and directors are being invited to take part in a new Lichfield Festival project.
Strangers on a Train will feature a five-week programme and see young people aged from 11 to 18 working to create and perform their own short films based on the Alfred Hitchcock classic.
A spokesperson for the Lichfield Festival said: “The pop-up performances have been engaging young performers in festival projects since 2013, offering a new challenge each year.
“Previous projects have involved physical theatre and Shakespeare plays. Each project culminates in a performance at the Lichfield Festival and the final films created this year will be shown to the public in a mobile cinema in the city centre.”
Workshop sessions will take place on Thursdays from April 23 at Lichfield Library, with filming at Chasewater Railway during May half-term. Places are free but limited and participants must be able to make all workshop sessions and the filming day on May 26.
For more information and to book a place contact the Lichfield Festival Office on 01543 306270 or email info@lichfieldfestival.org.
