Takeover Youth Panel at QFT

QUEEN'S Film Theatre in Belfast is recruiting new members to its free Takeover Youth Panel, open to anyone aged from 15 to 19 with an interest in film and the creative industries.

Part of the QFT's successful Takeover Film Festival, the Youth Panel offers a chance to gain valuable work experience with film professionals.

Participants will receive accreditation in the Principles of Creative and Cultural Practice Level 2, see world-class films for free, take part in a short film production over the summer and even programme the next Takeover Film Festival in February 2016, aimed at an audience 15 and over.

This year's Takeover Film Festival included the NI premiere screening of X + Y, plus a post-film discussion with director Morgan Matthews and Belfast-born cast member Martin McCann.
