Young Talent on Screen is a film festival organized by, and for children and young people with disabilities, run by a dedicated group who are passionate about film and who want to use their knowledge and skills to plan a festival together.
YToS is launching a call out for short films made by children and young people with disabilities up to 25 years old. The YToS team will view the films submitted and discuss together which films should be screened and what shape the festival will take. The selected filmmakers will be invited to the festival as guests, attend all screenings for free and have the chance to meet other filmmakers through social events and activities. The Festival will take place in Glasgow in March 2014.
We are looking for all kinds of short films (5 minutes and under) from around the world – it costs nothing to enter and individuals and groups can submit as many films as they like.
Project Ability run several filmmaking workshops throughout the year where the young people produce all kinds of short films. The YToS workshops are different, they are about young people coming together and thinking critically about film. YToS is an extraordinary opportunity for the young people to be involved in every aspect of this creative journey.
‘The young people’s knowledge and passion for film is a prominent part of their personality and we would like to bring out this personality within the identity of the film festival’
-Kate Burton, film tutor.
