Stars of the Silver Screen: a unique way to keep special memories alive
Capture your family’s memories on film in a TV-style documentary
You’ve got the photos, the Facebook posts, the Insta stories and possibly even a stash of video tapes somewhere in the loft but a Netflix-style documentary about your family’s history is future-proof!
Your family tree, your parents’ and grandparents’ childhoods and memories can be a lasting legacy. Silver Screen Family’s skilled film-makers have a background in TV and brodcasting and they are well equipped to encourage and guide your relatives to retell their stories. Filmed at home, they can talk about family, friends, where they lived growing up, their childhood anecdotes and precious possessions.
Holocaust survivors who perhaps haven’t been able to discuss their past before now, may feel that this is the right way for them to give a testimony of their past. It’s important for their family members to be able to bear witness and preserve those memories and stories, so they can be passed down through the generations. Some survivors might also find it easier to tell their story to a professional, an outsider, rather than family members and this way, the family will still be able to learn about their parent or grandparent’s past.
Once recorded, the team edits the film and adds in precious photos, video clips and special pieces of music. The end result is a professional film that will become a treasured family heirloom that will enable you to celebrate a life well lived when your relative is no longer here.
Illusionist Derren Brown used Silver Screen Family’s service and was delighted with the film. “It’s the most gorgeous thing if you have elderly parents or any reason to preserve a person’s story on film. Beautifully done and the whole thing is a treat,” he says

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
