The Benbow Youth Film Collective is your chance to join a group of young people aged 16-19 on a journey into film.

This term, the BYFC is taking part in a month-long documentary filmmaking project with Source Park skatepark and A Curious Agenda. You will learn about the art of the documentary and make your own short films capturing the culture, stories and spirit of the skate community at Source Park. Your films will be screened at a special pop up cinema event at Source Park in May half term.

Led by award winning documentary film-maker and stunt rider, Ross Domoney.

Join us for a free introductory taster at ‘Source to Screen Takeover’ at Source Park on Saturday 19 April 12-5pm.
