Leeds Young Film Festival

Win $350 worth of cash prizes at the Leeds Young Film Festival this year! The final deadline for submissions is Thursday 7th October 2021. Leeds Young Film Festival takes place every Easter and welcomes young people and their families to the largest film event of its kind in the north of England. Now in its 22nd year, the festival features a programme of the best new and unseen cinema for young people from around the world, made both for and by young people, as well as classic screenings, moving-image related workshops and masterclasses. It takes place in four of the city’s most prominent venues and attracts over 14,000 young film fans and their families. “Film needs children and young people to keep falling in love with it, and the LYFF is the perfect place for them – always smart and adventurous, never less than fun.” (Danny Leigh, The Guardian) "The Young Film Festival at Leeds is celluloid heaven for mini-movie buffs."
