Perception Busters is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to work with young people to learn film making skills and produce films busting heritage myths. Big House | Short Films is part of the Children’s Capital of Culture festival year and is funded by Children’s Capital of Culture UK shared prosperity funding.
