    Interested in filmmaking? Want to learn some new skills? SCREEN31 might be just what you’re looking for!

    SCREEN31’s weekly sessions take place at Gulbenkian, and are open to 16-25 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.

    ***We are in the midst of reviewing this group in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic and our new placement with the Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries at the University of Kent. We hope to announce soon when sessions will recommence.***

    If you would like to be added on the waiting list for this group please email you/your young’s person name, date of birth, and a contact number to creativelearning@kent.ac.uk

    Feel free to email us if you have any other queries!

    About | ART31 KentART31KENT is a youth leadership project funded through Gulbenkian’s NPO status, granted by Arts Council England. More information about ART31 here or visit ART31 KENT.

    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’.  

    There are a number of dedicated ART31 groups across Kent. The pilot group started at Gulbenkian, Canterbury, in 2013 and since then other groups have sprung up at Pie Factory Music, Ramsgate and Jasmin Vardimon Company, Ashford, with others in the pipeline. These groups meet regularly to plan ART31 events, as well as develop event management/front of house/marketing skills, meet companies, take part in workshops and see new and exciting artistic work.  MEDIA31, SCREEN31, Gulbenkian Uncovered, ARTY31, TECH31KENT and TECHY31 are part of ART31.

    "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

    ART31KENT

    We want to #ChangeKent. How? By creating more artistic events and opportunities for young people. By motivating young people to be creative, and to try art forms they wouldn’t usually think of. By introducing them to new work that they may not have been able to access before. By developing relationships between arts organisations and young people, leading young people to take control and get involved in making decisions.

    Youth Theatre
