What we do

SCREEN31

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

You can sign up for free to the ART31 Mailing list to receive monthly updates about our groups for 13-25 year olds, as well as other arts organisations in Kent.

Funded by ART31 KENT

ART31KENT is a youth leadership project funded through Gulbenkian’s NPO status, granted by Arts Council England, in addition to funding from Kent County Council.

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’.

See below for our other ART31 groups!

"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
