Mary`s Live Link Film Festival (5)

영화제 시작: 19 8월 2024      영화제 끝: 20 8월 2024

Run by young people, for young people, the Live Link Film Festival was born in Mary's Youth Club, Islington. A non-profit organisation, Mary's provides free opportunities for young people aged between 10 and 19 that expand their skills and encourage them to pursue personal development.

We're proud to say that the festival is entirely run by our members who, over the course of the planning and delivery stages, grow their confidence in key skills such as teamwork, event planning, and community partnership. We work in collaboration with local filmmakers and colleges to deliver an educational and enjoyable three-day event.

Our panel of young people review each submitted film, categorising them and choosing the final line-up that best represents the vision they have for their festival.

Films must be up to 10 minutes in length and suitable for those aged 10 and older. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send us an email.
