Teenage flicks 17 11月 2010 by Muvizu_Admin in News Muvizu HQ has decided to sponsor next year's Glasgow Youth Film Festival. After all, we work in this city and it seems like a good way to keep the little so-and-sos off the streets. No, we jest. That's what the courts and detention centres are for, and we already support those via our taxes. The Glasgow Youth Film Festival, aka the GYFF, on the other hand, is an event that we're supporting by choice because we're keen to see Muvizu used in education, especially in schools and colleges. Festival organisers point out in their literature that, despite the increasing educational focus on media and technology, costly software and equipment still represent barriers to entry in filmmaking, especially for young people for whom opportunities to get involved are already rare. So, enter the GYFF, which is part of the wider Glasgow Film Festival. It evolved from its roots as the Glasgow Schools Film Week in 2006 to become a film festival in its own right last year. You could say that it's grown up. The purpose of the festival, which runs from February 6 to February 16, is to offer young audiences the chance to watch quality world cinema and to encourage them to get involved in filmmaking themselves. As part of this mission, Muvizu is running a workshop on Saturday February 12 at which we'll show 14- to 18-year-olds how to knock out cinema-worthy 3D animated clips. These will be shown at the end-of-festival party. Full details of the schedule and events haven't been set in stone yet, but Muvizu will probably be around throughout the festival to give demos and, who knows, maybe even the odd T-shirt. More information may be found at the Glasgow Film Festival website: http://www.glasgowfilmfestival.org.uk/youth Any other businesses out there who'd like to join us in supporting the GYFF should take a look at Arts and Business #BigArtsGive here: http://www.glasgowfilmfestival.org.uk/youth For those of you who like such things, relevant Twitter info is available here: @glasgowyouth @glasgowfilmfest All of us at Muvizu HQ wish the organisers the very best for the forthcoming festival and we look forward to helping out wherever we can. One thing is certain: you needn't be short of fart jokes. Best wishes, The Muvizu team
