OUR FILM CLUBS
- Kent Film Foundation uses Film and Arts to build confidence and aspirations in young people.
- We use film clubs as a social environment to create safe spaces to nurture new interests and talents.
- Often children have skills they are totally unaware of that can be used for a career based in film, media, arts, theatre, music and any digital medium in many cases where schools and teachers have no idea their skills might fit. Often un-related to academia.
- With all arts based jobs and careers, academia is not always relevant to the skills needed and we have launched many young people into worthwhile career paths where they thought they had no opportunities open to them.
- We use our film clubs to build on confidence to engage all kinds of working futures where young people have gone on to become electricians, veterinary assistants, plumbers or simply re-engage in education purely because of their experience at one of our film clubs.

History - how it all began
Kent Film Foundation began as a non-for-profit arm of a film production company based in Thanet , Kent an area of high deprivation where young people suffer from "Poverty of Opportunity".
A local group of filmmakers attached training elements for young people to a series of feature film shoots. This successfully led talented young people into entry level film industry jobs, film schools, universities and drama schools for those interested in careers in media.
This inspired one of the filmmakers who had also grown up in poverty herself, to create the Kent Film Foundation, an organisation with charitable status in the hope of hiring professional filmmakers to mentor young people in film workshops that would be FREE to every participant.
Since its inception in 2010 the charity has an excellent track record in achieving its outcomes. It recently received a prestigious nomination in the Colyer Fergusson 50th Anniversary Awards in the category "Unlocking Opportunities"
"Aiming High" is a film made by our young filmmakers about Ian Payne a wheelchair tennis player.
