Film Academy

Welcome...

...to the 9th Leeds Young People's Film Festival. This year's extravaganza features original and unseen films from around the world made both by and for young people, as well as some wonderful classics from the archive vault. There's also a fantastic line-up of workshops and masterclasses in the Film Academy and this year features some very special guests from the world of cinema.

So sit back and watch some of the amazing movies on offer and get involved in the workshops - it could be your film everyone will be watching at next year's National Young Filmmakers' Award.

Enjoy! See you at the Film Festival, Debbie and the Team.
