Focus Film Festival

Curated in collaboration with the Barbican Young Programmers, this new film festival is geared towards 12-18 year olds and aims to give young people a better understanding of the film industry. The international movies on offer have been picked for their authenticity in depicting teenage experiences and a number of special previews and premieres will take place across the event. Hands-on sessions for those looking to get closer to the action will also be available. Highlights include a free film-making experience at a pop-up media studio and a session with a BAFTA visual effect expert. Check the website for the full list of screenings and workshops.
