Discovery Film Festival is Scotland's leading film festival for young audiences.
www.discoveryfilmfestival.org.uk
2009 dates: 20th October - 1st November
2010 dates: TBC 16th - 30th October
Discovery screens new international film made for, or relevant to, young people aged 3 to 21. From non-dialogue animation for little ones, to challenging coming of age films and anime for older audiences. We screen approximately 30 films over 10 days.
We have a small section for films made by young people, under 18s based in Scotland, called the Discovery Youth Screen Award. However, the main programme are films by professional filmmakers, the best international films for young audiences from the past year, including UK premieres of award winners such as Crystal Bear winner It's Not Me, I Swear.
We have a large education programme for schools, featuring films with teaching resources and links to the curriculum.
Discovery takes place at the DCA www.dca.org.uk and at partner venues across Scotland including Edinburgh Filmhouse, Glasgow GFT, and Inverness Eden Court.
To submit a film email a summary or web link to discovery@dca.org.uk and we will request screeners if the films look suitable.
