This year’s festival showcases a series of innovative films that deal with escape and rebellion, across diverse countries, cultural environments and opposing landscapes.
The programme includes UK premiers, Q&As, an open submission shorts programme, and a showcase of British archive films. We reflect upon and challenge the shifting role of youth culture within society at large, and provide a platform for emerging filmmakers and programmers to reach new audiences.
Chronic Youth Film Festival is the product of a seven-month collaborative exploration by London based programmers and curators ages 15 to 25.
