For the past fifteen years, the Cork Young Filmmakers (CYF) programme has been bringing hands-on filmmaking workshops to hundreds of young people throughout County Cork each year. The most intensive of their annual slate of workshops are the summer courses that bring young people with a passion for filmmaking together to create a film over several days. Faced with Covid restrictions, 2020 called for a new, updated approach. Taking the workshops online, the emphasis was now on the participants to each make a documentary and a fiction film completely independently, working on their own with smartphones while receiving mentoring from CYF tutors over Zoom. The consistently inventive and surprising films that emerged are a testament to the amazing imagination and inventiveness of the budding filmmakers that took part. This programme consists of all the films made over these four ten-day sessions as well as the fruits of a more recent three-day workshop run as part of First Cut! 2021.
Cork County Council Arts Officer Ian McDonagh will introduce this screening.
