WYFN
WYFN is an informal network of Wales based film Festivals and film organisations that screen films for and/or made by young people aged approximately 15-25. The Network aims to meet three or four times a year with the intention of building partnerships between its members, developing shared projects and events for young audiences. Supported by Film Hub Wales, Wicked Wales Film and other regional partners. WYFN hopes to help build a robust appetite for British and International films amongst people in Wales.
Wicked Wales Film
Wicked Wales was set up 5 years ago by the Prestatyn Youth Pop In Centre to run an international youth film festival, screening short films made by young people from all over the world. This Festival has been organised and run by young volunteers with support and is now a BAFTA Cymru supported Festival. The young Wicked volunteers have an office at Rhyl Little Theatre where 3 years ago they set up an affordable Pop Up community cinema, Wicked Cinema. As Wicked volunteers the young people have access to year round training in film and media both in the UK and including attendance at other international youth film festivals.
