Join in the 2012 24/7 Youth Film Festival

Are you between the ages of 12 and 24 and fancy yourself as the next Spielberg, Scorsese or Eastwood? Then come along to the 24/7 Youth Film Festival info night on Tuesday 31 July!

Now in its 10th year, 24/7 is an annual event where young film-makers from Mosman, Manly, Warringah and Pittwater have the chance to create their own short film in the space of 24 hours. Finalists have their film shown at local cinemas and the overall winners will receive cash prizes.

The information night on 31 July is free and participants will learn more about the event and listen to tips from industry professionals.

Participants also attend free workshops during August (9, 13, 14) covering scriptwriting and directing, acting for screen and cinematography to help put their film together.

The festival is launched on 18 August where young film-makers are given a series of items, phrases and locations which must appear in their film. The completed seven-minute (or shorter) film must be submitted to the organizers 24 hours later.

The finalists’ films will be screened at local cinemas throughout September when the winning entries will be announced.
