    • SCREEN31

    Screen31 is a group for young people aged 15-25 interested in developing their film-making skills.

    At SCREEN31 you will get the chance to develop your filmmaking and editing skills at sessions run by a professional film-maker. 

    From short films to advertising, SCREEN31 gives 15-25 year olds the chance to immerse themselves in a diverse variety of styles and genres, and will be able to develop camera and editing skills. Professional standard equipment is provided, including BlackMagic Pocket Cinema 4K Cameras and Davinci Resolve editing software.

    No previous experience is necessary, only curiosity and enthusiasm.

    SCREEN31 is run in partnership with Spark Productions.

    The sessions are free and held across two days. They will be hosted either at Gulbenkian Arts Centre in Canterbury or at our new, industry-standard, production facility in Medway – The Docking Station.

    More information and booking details can be found on our ‘Get Involved‘ page.

    Any questions please email creativeengagement@kent.ac.uk

    "I had such a great time at SCREEN31 and will definitely check the ART31 site for more opportunities in the future" Lyle, SCREEN31 member
    "I’ve enjoyed every aspect of SCREEN31. From meeting new people, to learning about equipment, to editing and even talking about films. I also enjoy the idea that each week is different and I’m always surprised to see what we will be doing the following week." Declan, SCREEN31 member
    "I have learned how to set up lights, cameras and sound equipment for an interview (which I think is useful). I have also gained the experience of doing it practically, not just theoretically, thanks to the equipment available to us." Annabel, SCREEN31 member

    ART31

    ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

    ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

    The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
