1. Leamington Spa: University Town

Warwick University is located on the outskirts of Coventry. Yet over 5,000 students and around 500 staff choose to live in Leamington Spa, nearly ten miles away. How did Leamington become a 'university town', and what impact has this had on Leamington over the past 60 years? We explore these questions in this, the fifth in a series of videos created by Leamington History Group and local filmmaker Mark Ellis chronicling the history of the town.

2. Motionhouse: Showreel

A short film, showcasing just some of the incredible productions by the world-class, Leamington-based, Motionhouse.

3. Between Boundaries

"With this film I wanted the viewer to be able to relate to the human and dream big with the superhuman. For me, it was important to set the piece in nature to emphasise that - giving the performer a grounding as well as a natural playground to explore a boundless energy." - Chris Knight

4. Get High With Rus: A RiVR Production

The goal was to bring the thrill of historical exploration to everyone, regardless of mobility or ability. The setting was the historic St. Mary’s Church, its tower swathed in scaffolding during a major restoration project. Our mission was simple in concept but complex in execution—allowing RUSS, who uses a wheelchair and faces the daily challenges of scoliosis, to ascend the tower and experience the world from its breathtaking heights.

5. Lights of Leamington: Switched on Stories

Enjoy a magical and enlightening film about the Lights of Leamington festival told by 11 people who were there.
