FILM FESTIVAL FOR YOUNG

It is a new event aimed at showcasing the creative film work and talent of young people in the county and is being launched this year.

Sound Architect (Music and Film) Ltd in conjunction with East Sussex Arts Partnership is organising the event at the De La Warr Pavilion during the Access All Areas Festival from October 19-21.

All budding young film-makers are being urged to submit their work to premier at this new countywide festival.

Rachel Lewis of Sound Architect said: "This Film Festival will allow the young film-makers of East Sussex to present their work to a wide audience and we urge schools, youth groups and organisations to submit their films.

"Film-makers will not only see their work on the big screen but also take part in exciting events and free media master classes. They will meet special guests and have the chance to swap ideas with and be inspired by other young people.

"The screenings will be open to all, so don't worry if you are not a film-maker. If you'd like to have a go or just wish to know more about film production, why not come along to one of the free workshops...you never know, you could be submitting a film in next year's Festival."

HOW TO ENTER; Entries should be nor more than 10 minutes long and made after August 2005. There are no subject categories to limit your imagination. Films can be drama or documentary. All film-makers must be aged between 13-19 years at the time of making their film. The entries will be judged by a panel of media professionals, educationalists and young people. Prizes will be awarded.

CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES; the original deadline of June 30 has now been extended to July 27 2007.
