Get Involved

Every year, we invite a group of young people through GFT's doors to programme the Glasgow Youth Film Festival (GYFF) a weekend full of film screenings and film events for young people. We work with young people on the decisions for this festival over a three-week summer school where they will get an opportunity to pitch their favourite films to the festival and watch new releases.

No experience of working with film is necessary and neither is a lot of film knowledge, but we welcome a passion for film and cinema. In return for your regular commitment, you’ll build up lots of different skills and the opportunity to take part in a qualification which will provide an excellent addition to your CV.

Please note this is not a filmmaking course but you will watch films and learn how to create a three-day film festival.

What will I gain?

• Meet new and like-minded people with similar interests to you
• Attend a summer school with Glasgow Film professionals
• Learn how cinema and festival programming works
• Meet film industry professionals through supported networking opportunities and hosting Q&As
• An optional Participative Democracy Certificate (two credits at SCQF Level 5)
