Ever wanted to make a film? Jersey International Film Festival – the 13th Parish Festival – is inviting islanders of all levels of experience to “shoot their shot” and take part in a completely free filmmaking course.
The week-long Kino Jersey project will take place from 13 to 17 May, with budding directors getting the chance to take their film from concept to the Arts Centre's big screen, where they will be screened alongside features straight from Sundance and Venice film festivals.
It is open to all over 16 years of age, whether you are a seasoned filmmaker or a complete beginner.
This is the second year that the 13th Parish Festival will be partnering with French film festival Off-Courts Trouville, and participants will be able to benefit from advice and support from international filmmaking experts throughout the week.
Tony Langlois, the Director of 13th Parish Festival, said: "We are putting this out to as many people as possible, because we want to champion local talent and show that Jersey and the Channel Islands are full of creativity."
"Jersey is a wonderful place to make films and we are passionate about highlighting that and attracting more people to the Island for film projects. Whether you're a media student with a budding idea or an experienced artist looking for more connections, taking part in Kino Jersey is a unique and wonderful opportunity."
He added: "We also hope the community gets behind our local talent and comes to see all their films at the Arts Centre during the festival. It'll be quite the event!"
The Kino Jersey project will be happening a week before the festival which runs from 18 to 21 May at the Jersey Arts Centre.
The third instalment of the Island's celebration of independent global and local cinema s returning "bigger and better than ever" and will offer islanders an exciting array of contemporary short films, award-winning cinematic features and documentaries, a new virtual reality event, family-friendly screenings and a public interview with a distinguished film industry creator.
