Young programmers
Would you like to be the first to watch the latest (youth) films, discuss them, and put together your own program at the Antwerp Youth Film Festival?
Join the club of young programmers.
Through the young programmers' program, young people aged 12 to 15 have the opportunity to actively participate in the programming of the Antwerp Youth Film Festival. As a group, you decide which films for ages 12+ will be shown at the festival and you help decide on accompanying events, communication campaigns, and guests related to this film selection.
During the festival, you, as a group of young programmers, will present the chosen program entirely on your own, provide introductions, and help supervise the additional activities. This way, you will learn firsthand how to organize a film festival!
