About the Festival
The Co-operative Film Festival is one of the longest
running film festivals in the country and a huge
celebration of young people’s creative filmmaking.
Since 1966, The Co-operative has given thousands
of young people the exciting opportunity to see their
work on the big screen in front of a live audience.
The festival is an inspiring and unique experience aimed
at encouraging young people to co-operate, develop creativity
and express themselves and can stimulate a successful career in
the film and media industry from an early age.
Come along and watch a diverse range of fun, inspirational and
thought-provoking films from animation, drama, documentary
and more, all made by people aged 22 and under. If you dream
of becoming a filmmaker, want to be part of a production, or have
a real passion for films then this is the festival for you - there
really is something for everyone!
And what’s more, for 2013 The Co-operative is teaming up with
Bradford’s award-winning National Media Museum to make this
year’s festival bigger and better than ever before! It gives so many people
the opportunity to show
their talents and showcase
what they’re really great at.

film heritage, its inspirational movie locations and its many
celebrations of the moving image through the city’s annual
film festivals.
By 2020 Bradford will be The place to enjoy film, learn
through and about film, make film and visit because of film.

to support you in any way they can.
Each session lasts for up to 20 minutes and, if you wish to show our
advisors any film content, please bring along a playable DVD with
you on the day.

BYFA
The Co-operative British Youth Film Academy (BYFA) is the UK’s
only co-operatively run film academy. Owned by its member
colleges and universities, it delivers activity-packed Summer
Camps, focused on the production of a full-length professional
feature film, as well as year-round educational opportunities.
BYFA is open to all young people (14-25), regardless of
background, contacts or experience.
At BYFA Summer Camps, students work with professional film-makers on a real film set
– activities include camera, grip, lighting, sound, music, art, acting, production and post
production. They are given the opportunity to gain the skills, confidence and hands-on
experience to develop and grow, both as people and film-makers. And the quality of the
film produced is great too – BYFA’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar
premiered at the 2011 Raindance Film Festival.
To discuss opportunities with BYFA, email BYFA@co-operative.coop
