Duration: 3 hours.
Location: Meet at Plymouth Arts Cinema, go to The Box for the archive visit, then to Fotonow for the workshop.
Rip It Up - Cut and Paste! offers a unique behind-the-scenes opportunity to explore Plymouth's moving image heritage at The Box. Participants will tour the archive and collections stores, gaining an insight into how film and other media records are preserved and cared for. Drawing inspiration from archive footage and materials selected from The Box's collections, participants will discover different stories, perspectives and representations of the city through time and learn how to edit together a digital zine which we will screen at PAC. Co-delivered as part of The Box's BFI-funded Reframing the Region programme, the session will provide a starting point for creative experimentation, encouraging participants to use screen heritage as inspiration for developing their own responses and fresh perspectives on Plymouth's past, present and future.

Rip It Up - Cut and Paste!
The 2026 BFI FAN UK-wide season – Rip It Up – explores and celebrates the changing face of youth rebellion, culture and expression – from joy to heartbreak – on screen in the UK.
Cut and Paste!, the PAC strand of the season, uses film as a starting point to explore what it feels like to be young in the city. How do places influence how young people see themselves and move through the spaces they inhabit. Three key films explore this, and zine workshops and archive exploration lends a playful, experimental, creative punk element to ripping the old things up and making something brand new. Working in partnership with Fotonow and The Box, Plymouth, we will leave our expectations behind and see what happens.
This season is made possible with the support of the BFI Film Audience Network, awarding funds from National Lottery.
