FREE young film club for 14-19 year olds!

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

For anyone 14-19 years old, They Eat Culture in conjunction with FACT Liverpool are beginning a young film club.

This will be a FREE chance to learn more about watching films, making films and programming a film festival.

Young people who participate with the project will go through the process of designing a brand, looking at different themes for the festival, programming, marketing, and producing the mini-fest.

Please pass this info on to any young people you think may be interested!

There are two initial sessions where we are inviting young people to come along and find out more and sign up if they want.

These are FREE (as is the whole project) and sandwiches will be provided!

We’d love it if you brought any films you’d made, or just come along if you want to learn about making films and programming a festival!

The first of these is Monday 3rd October at 6pm and the second is Monday 10th October 6pm.

Sessions will be running weekly from november through to the end of January, with the mini-fest at the end of January.

To find out more, please email nathalie@theyeatculture.org or phone on 01772 499 207.
