To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
To hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour

(William Blake)

From July 2007-July 2008 The Cambridgeshire Film Consortium (CFC) organised Grains of Sand a county-wide film competition on the theme of climate change for young people aged 8-21 years with associated screenings and events throughout the year. It culminated on Friday 13 June 2008 at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse with a screening of the young people’s films and the awarding of prizes.

The aim of the competition was to raise young people's awareness of the impact of climate change, to encourage sustainability in their lifestyles and to enable them to voice their opinions through practical film production projects, inspired education screenings and the chance to enter a film competition.

The project provided an exhibition platform for their films at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse, the Cambridge Film Festival and the Cambidgeshire Film Consortium website With the support of Cambridge University Climate Programme for Industry the CFC provided film production and science-based support to the participating schools, colleges, universities and youth arts groups who expressed an interest in the competition. E.g the CFC facilitated filmmakers, sound artists, editors, animators and climate scientists visits to schools, and holiday film production workshops at venues such as British Antarctic Survey, Scott Polar Research Institute and Kettles Yard, and across Cambridgeshire with youth groups such as Fenland Arts and colleges such as Longsands in St Neots using cameras and editing software funded by a Cambridge City Council Sustainable City Grant, facilities at Anglia Ruskin University, and funding from Cambridgeshire County Council.

The CFC also organised In-Service training for primary school teachers in collaboration with Parkside Media Specialist College to support primary school animation film projects for the Grains of Sand competition.
