A film about teenagers from Oxford's troubled Wood Farm is being screened in public at a city centre art gallery.

The Wood Farm Audit features young people from the estate who paint a brighter picture of what life is really like there.

The area hit the headlines last month when residents said they were being intimidated by children hanging around outside shops in Atkyns Road.

The situation worsened when nightmare neighbour Paul Coombes was banned from the estate and later jailed for breaching an Asbo.

The 50-minute DVD is being shown at Modern Art Oxford, in Pembroke Street, every day until June 16.

It shows youths living in Wood Farm saying they are not yobs, just bored and frustrated teenagers with nothing to do and nowhere to go.

In the film, they call for better provision of social activities, and more support from police, youth workers and schools.

It is one of two films about the city being screened as part of Oxford's 2015 programme. The 10-day exhibition looks at real plans for Oxford alongside the thoughts of artists, architects, schoolchildren and members of the public.

Wood Farm Audit film maker Shona Illingworth said she was delighted the gallery was showcasing the DVD. She said: "It will give a wider public an opportunity to see the film and to consider some of the important issues the young people raised."

The second film, Interviewing Oxford by Matt Wilkinson, reveals what 12 residents would like to see in the city by 2015.

Mr Wilkinson said: "It was refreshing to hear such a wide range of reactions and responses. It has changed my perception of Oxford."

Andrew Nairne, director of Modern Art Oxford, said: "Oxford 2015 is all about voices for change and this film is a powerful advocate for the need for more facilities for young people in Wood Farm, and by extension in many other parts of Oxford."
