The second event is at 16:30 - 17.30 and is a question and answer session, with Donald MacLellan, actor Noel Clarke (star and director of Adulthood) and Marcia Williams from the UK Film Council 's diversity department . The three participants will take part in a discussion about film, photography, diversity and portrayal. If you've got a question come along to the National Portrait Gallery Auditorium and join in. There are 80 places for people 13-24 and 20 places for anyone over 25. To register for this event please visit the BBC Blast on Tour website.
Places are free but will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
