What it's all about

The idea is to encourage young (16- 26) people from local area (Kingston, Surbiton, Twickenham, Richmond) to present their vision of the world using such a powerful tool as cinema! Participants will be invited to condense their point of view in no longer than 15 min of feature film, music video, animation or documentary. Simply send it to us and see your film at the general screening in June and win a prize to develop your skills further.

1. possible dates -
film submission: end of May
screening: week commencing 8th of June

    Thanks for posting your idea. I think it's great that you are encouraging your fellow students to be creative and encourage them to take action on an issue which they feel passionately about.

    Have you heard about the Human Rights Film Watch that is currently premiering films across London? The festival runs from the 18-27th March, check out thttp://www.hrw.org/en/iff/london for info on films and screening details.

    Kingston University is one of 12 universities that Junction49 works in partnership with. Get in contact with Martin (the Junction49 Volunteer Support Officer at Kingston) who can help you access upto £750 funding and provide you with support for running your very own film festival. Click on the University tab above to find the Kingston page.

    Do you have equipment for the young people to use to make their film?

    Let us know how the festival plans go!
