CYFM is a film festival specially for under 21s, celebrating young people's film-making, education and co-operation. This non-competitive, not-for-profit festival is run and funded by the Co-operative Group.
The festival is all about you. We want you to express yourself and enjoy making a film, experiment and try new things, work together and learn from the film-making process, meet other young film-makers and network. You don't need to compete. We don't judge you - we leave the plastic trophies to other festivals. Enjoy what you're doing - life isn't a competition.
