Lossiemouth Northern Lights film team had a trip to Forres Vintage Car Theme Day to help with the pre-production research for a heritage film about Forres.

There are several workshops available in 3 separate blocks throughout the day. These include:
You can access the online handbook for the conference, which contains more details.

4 Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the door-frames of your houses and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6: 4 – 9
