Kilburn Youth Film Festival
Times: 1pm-7pm
Ages: 11-25 year olds
Price: Free

The 2^nd Kilburn Youth Film Festival will roll again on 28^th March. The Granville Plus Youth Arts Centre in South Kilburn will become a cinema and workshop venue as hordes of local teenagers are expected to try their hand behind the camera, as well as watching some of the country’s most innovative young film-making talent.

The event, which was established in 2008, is planned and programmed by 11-25 year olds from Brent, and features short films, music videos, digital art works, documentaries and animations by peers of the same age. With mentoring from film industry professionals and Brent Youth Service’s youth arts development team, the young festival organisers learn skills in programming, marketing and sticking to a budget. The project is funded by Film London and Brent Youth Service.

"We know there are a lot of talented young people in the borough who are interested in film”, says planning committee member Daniel Basu, aged 22. “The festival is about getting them excited about film and expanding their knowledge and interest. We want to excite, educate and inspire."

This year, parts of festival will take place in a solar-powered cinema in Kilburn’s Grange Park courtesy of the Kilburn Spring Clean – an event at the end of March to promote environmental awareness in the community.

As well as film screenings, there will be a series of talks from young film-makers from all over the UK and workshops from film industry figures, including camera operators, storyboard artists and special effects / make-up artists. Douglas Ingrams, storyboard artist on Batman Begins and the forthcoming Angels & Demons will be hosting an interactive workshop for attendees.

The Kilburn Youth Film Festival will take place at Granville Plus Youth Arts Centre on 28^th March 2009, from 1pm – 7pm – with additional screenings at the solar-powered cinema in Grange Park, Kilburn from 12pm - 2pm. Entry is free for all events. For more information, telephone 0207 6044620 or visit www.kilburnyouthfilmfestival.co.uk
