In summer 2012, Deptford Film Club is running a festival of popular world cinema at the Stephen Lawrence Centre – and we’re recruiting a team of young adults (18-25) to organise it.
Over 16 hours, we’ll teach you how to programme, publicise and manage a film festival . You’ll learn all the technical and legal aspects of running film events. You’ll also discover films from Africa, Asia, India and the Caribbean – and work out how to excite audiences about popular world cinema.
We are looking for energetic people with a passion for cinema – and experience of watching at least one form of popular world cinema (eg, Bollywood, Nollywood and the popular film industries of Vietnam, China, Turkey and the Caribbean).
This hands-on and creative course will boost your CV with practical experience in writing, designing, film-making, negotiating, marketing and project management. And once you’ve finished this course, you’ll have the skills and experience to run your own film festival events . You must be available for all the course dates plus the days running up to the festival, and you must be aged 18-25 and live, work or study in the borough of Lewisham.
