Students from the School of Social Sciences and the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures have taken part in a creative internship with SICK! Productions, a North Manchester-based arts organisation, to gain hands-on experience in research, storytelling and film production.<\/p>\n

Now in their third year, the Creative Track internships offer students the opportunity to spend two weeks working with SICK! Productions in collaboration with video production company Freshrb. The interns are given a creative brief to research and produce a short film, developing their ideas with support from industry mentors.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s interns created Manchester Through Her Eyes, a short documentary exploring the internationalisation and interculturality of Manchester, focusing particularly on North Manchester. The film follows the story of a young Italian woman of West African descent who has chosen to make Manchester her home, offering a personal perspective on identity, community and belonging in the city.<\/p>\n

The cohort of students included Abigail Elias and Sofia Sarosh from the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures, and Jude Pfieiffer, Jasmin Khaled Araby Aly and Lailah Boateng from the School of Social Sciences. The experience gave them the opportunity to develop practical creative media skills while engaging with local communities and reflecting on the real-world stories that shape Manchester\u2019s cultural life.<\/p>\n
