    Situation

    Support Scotland's future filmmakers, audiences and programmers UK Film Council research shows 41% of young people attend the cinema once a month but are often the least catered to by arthouse cinemas. They miss out on a broad range of films and have little opportunity to discuss film culture in a friendly and safe environment. Despite a growing interest in technology, there are very few activities for young people to make their own films as equipment and training is expensive.

    Solution

    A film festival for young people by young people Glasgow Youth Film Festival (GYFF) was set up in response to lack of film provision for young people, offering them a chance to experience quality World Cinema and meet inspiring filmmakers through affordable workshops and audience discussions. A major part of its success is the close involvement of the GYFF Youth Team. Over a period of 7 months, a group of 15-18 year olds advise on film and event selection and also run events during GYFF.
