A YOUNG person’s film festival for aspiring movie-makers, aged between 12 and 19, has been launched by Liverpool Biennial and FACT .

Young people are being asked to send in films no more than 10 minutes in length, that focus on myths, lies, story telling or imaginary worlds and responding to the theme “made up”.

The films could either be “made up in Liverpool’ or about Liverpool and must be created within the last year.

There will be three categories of silent films, films made using mobile phones and the creative response to the theme of Made Up.

After the July 18 deadline, the selection process will begin, led by a team of young people from FACT.

There will also be a chance for the public to watch a selection of films, via the Liverpool Biennial website at www.biennial.com, and choose which ones get to be screened at FACT, at three different community venues and on the BBC Big Screen.

In the run up to the submission deadline a series of workshops will offer young people the chance to develop their film making skills.

There will be a big showcase event to celebrate the chosen films in November.

It is sponsored by Liverpool Culture Company as part of Liverpool European Capital of Culture.
