Thursday March 6th & Friday March 7th, The Regal Cinema

For the past eighteen years, the Cork Young Filmmakers (CYF) programme has been bringing hands-on filmmaking workshops annually to hundreds of young people throughout County Cork. This screening showcases films made in secondary schools during 2024/25 by the creative young people participating in these workshops, which give them a first-hand opportunity to express themselves through film.

This programme will be accompanied by a selection of inspiring short films from throughout the festival.

CYF is a Cork County Youth Arts Training Programme managed by Cork Film Centre. The programme receives funding from Cork County Council, The Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon and Cork Credit Unions and is supported by SECAD, Cork ETB, CLYP, Cork Local Youth Partnership, and Cobh Municipal District Community Grant.
