Young Filmmakers Competition

admin | May 15, 2009

Young people across the UK and Northern Ireland, aged 11-21, are being given the opportunity to have their say in the fight against knife crime through an open-access film competition: The Life Channel Young Filmmakers’ Competition 2009.

The competition is run in association with the Daily Mirror’s national Stop Knives Save Lives campaign, which aims to end knife crime.

Films will be judged at regional level, with awards designed to assist top entrants in their future filmmaking activities. The top 12 will win a Flip Ultra digital camcorder; the winner from the 11–13 age group will win film merchandise; the 14–17 winner will get a tour of Pinewood Studios; the 18–21 winner will get to work in the production team on the set of the UK’s first 3D movie, Vertigo Films’ Street Dance, for one week in September and a group of their friends will be invited to spend a day on set.
