Join the <strong>Cambridge</strong> <strong>Film</strong><br />
<strong>Festival</strong> Youth Lab!<br />
Are you aged 16-24 and passionate about a creative career? The <strong>Cambridge</strong> <strong>Film</strong><br />
<strong>Festival</strong> Youth Lab offers a vibrant platform for like-minded individuals to connect<br />
in a relaxed, sociable setting.<br />
A central part of the year-round festival activities, the Youth Lab is a dynamic, youth-led film education<br />
initiative that empowers young people in several ways:<br />
• Enhance Your Skills: Sharpen your film evaluation and criticism abilities.<br />
• Build Connections: Network with industry professionals.<br />
• Future-Proof Knowledge: Develop a deeper understanding of cinema.<br />
Throughout the year, the Youth Lab hosts discussion groups, workshops, networking events<br />
and talks by industry experts. During the festival, the Youth Jury Lab plays a pivotal role,<br />
awarding the Youth Lab Jury Award for the best feature film.<br />
We warmly welcome individuals aged 16-24 from diverse backgrounds,<br />
including those with disabilities, global majority<br />
and disadvantaged backgrounds.<br />
Meeting people working<br />
in the sector and other<br />
young people studying film<br />
has really inspired me ...<br />
I’ve learned about many<br />
jobs I didn’t even know<br />
existed within the film<br />
industry. The Youth Lab<br />
has really opened me up to<br />
so many opportunities.<br />

My first goal within the Youth Lab was to build personal and<br />
professional connections. Being in the group has helped me gain the<br />
confidence in articulating my voice and always believing in myself!<br />
