Young filmmakers

Screen South

Screen South has been helping young people make films that reflect the way that they use the landscape.  Over 100 young people from the Dover Folkestone area have tried out their filming skills in various workshops and some have gone on to create their own short films. If you are between the ages of 13 and 20 and would like to take part contact Screen South  or ring 01303 25977 to make sure you don’t miss out on this free opportunity.  Once the final workshops have taken place we will be having a screening event to celebrate the teenagers' hard work. Films will then be available to view online.  Watch this space.
