Projecting the Future

Networking day for Youth Filmmaking Facilitators


Whether you're a filmmaker working on outreach projects or a teacher
using film in your classroom, you know that film is both an exciting
and challenging way of engaging with young people.

This day of professional development and networking begins with a
preview screening of Hold Me Tight, Let me Go followed by a discussion
with director Kim Longinotto (tbc, see www.lff.org.uk/education for full
description). After lunch (provided) participants from cutting edge
youth filmmaking organisations within and outside formal education will
share good practice and some of the difficulties they've faced.
Sessions focusing on new technologies and exhibition will be
complemented by informal opportunities to meet other professionals
working in this growing field

The day will conclude with a plenary session looking at the future of
the sector, upcoming networking events, and how youth filmmaking will
fit in with the Olympics and new government agendas. Participants will
also be offered the chance to make use of unique resources at the BFI
Southbank and stay for a drinks reception provided by Film London.

Fri 26 Oct 10:00 - 18:00 BFI Southbank

In collaboration with MITA and Film London
