Presented by the Cambridge Film Trust charity, since 1977, the annual Cambridge Film 

Festival (CFF) has played a vital role in the city’s thriving cultural programme and 

the UK festival calendar, bringing together thousands of visitors and international 

artists in a celebration of cinema which showcases the very best films from across 

the globe including award-winning features from major international festivals.

Launched in 2019 (as CFF Young People’s Jury), we are incredibly proud of the work 

the Youth Lab is doing as it goes from strength to strength, expanding to include a 

larger group of participants taking on a wider range of activities and roles within CFF.

Young person led, the CFF Youth Lab is an exciting film education initiative focusing 

on young people’s film evaluation and criticism skills as well as encouraging 

communication and network building. Youth Lab is open to anyone aged 16-24, with 

a specific focus on addressing participation from under-represented communities 

and those at risk of social exclusion.

Youth Lab runs regular film discussion groups, workshops, presentations by 

industry professionals (previous guests have included Mark Kermode, Beth Webb, 

Simon Mayo, and Simran Hans) and networking events. During the Covid pandemic, 

the Youth Lab partnered with the BFI to produce and present a special online 

screening of COUNTY LINES which included an in depth interview with director 

Henry Blake.

Youth Lab is for everyone, and actively recruits people from all backgrounds, 

including those with disabilities, from minority communities, or from 

disadvantaged backgrounds.

As well as developing film knowledge and industry connections, participants build 

self-confidence as they progress through the Youth Lab program. 






Over 80% of participants go on to employment or higher education within the film 

industry! In fact both our short film programmer and Programming Panel Lead for 

CFF41 are previous Youth Lab participants.

The Youth Lab is one of the proudest achievements of CFF over recent years and a 

key focus for Cambridge Film Festival in the years to come.

“A really fantastic opportunity to chat with 

industry professionals in both film criticism and 

film making. Not only was it really enjoyable 

to ask questions and find out more about film, 

but it’s also helped to progress my future in the 

film industry.” 

Fiona Hughes 


“Youth Lab has connected me with 

a range of like-minded individuals 

that share a profound interest in 

film making. The Youth Lab does 

a beautiful job of valuing every 

opinion or suggestion made by the 

team; I am excited to see how all our 

collective ideas will help reshape 

CFF in the near future.” 

Chloe Kelly

“My first goal within the Youth Lab

“I’m an aspiring film director, 

working with short dramas 

and documentaries. Most of my 

work explores the topics of social 

injustice and philosophical 

dilemmas. Working together 

with Youth Lab, I had a chance 

to learn more about industry 

professionals, their work flow 

and creative process. Youth Lab 

is a great opportunity to meet 

like-minded people”
