With an established reputation as the most interactive young people's festival in the United Kingdom, we want films that will excite and motivate our audiences and that showcase the best and newest young filmmakers from around the globe.

Organisers are now looking for exciting and innovative films made both FOR and BY children and young people from across the UK and the world.
