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

    SCREEN31’s sessions take place at Gulbenkian, and are open to 15-25 year olds. Members get the chance to develop filmmaking and editing skills at sessions led by a professional filmmaker. Other opportunities may also be available, for example filming at ART31 events.  All equipment is provided, and you don’t need any previous experience.

    SCREEN31 is run in partnership with Spark Productions

    These sessions are FREE.

    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 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.
