Pupils from Preston Lodge High School were hard at work at @NtlMuseumsScot last week, learning all about filmmaking & using film to explore the question "What's missing from the Scottish Gallery at the museum?".

The only school in Scotland to be commissioned to make a film for the National Museum of Scotland in collaboration with SYFF for the Films in Scotland competition. What an amazing opportunity. Well done to Ms Marr and her learners 👏🏻 🎥 @thisissyff @NtlMuseumsScot #proudtobePL
