Leeds Young People's Film Festival

Leeds

6th -16th April 2006

Organised and run by Leeds City Council, the Leeds Young People's Film Festival will feature films aimed at young people as well as a series of events to encourage talented young people to get involved in the film industry.

Apart from the main features, young people will also have their chance of cinematic glory as inventive and imaginative short films will be screened as part of the third Leeds National Young Filmmakers Award, infront of a panel of film professionals.

Returning for 2006 is Film Academy, a series of workshops designed to encourage young people to learn about varied aspects of the movie business. These include 'Music Score', an opportunity to compose and manipulate film soundtracks including dialogue, sound effects and music. And, if people have ever fancied themselves as a Vivienne Westwood or Gianni Versace then there will be a one-day workshop on costume design, led by professional Monique Hollinshead, from TV's 'My Parents are Aliens'. Other workshops and masterclasses will also examine directing, stunt work and animation.

Refer to festival website for submission details and programmes.
