Check out Electric December

Electric December Online

Electric December is the Watershed’s annual online digital advent calendar. It was established in 1999 to create partnerships between Bristol’s local community and education groups and professional media companies. This year, thanks to the increase in user generated content, the project has been opened up to showcase some of the freshest films and animations made by young people from 14-21 not only from Bristol but from elsewhere in the UK. The calendar is managed and curated by http://www.eshed.net and its young members (aged 14-21).

The calendar will be online until Monday 24th December.
