Key Information

The cinema’s roots lie in a non-profit initiative started by local filmmakers in Thanet, a region facing significant deprivation and limited opportunities for young people. Through attaching training elements to feature film shoots, the project successfully helped young talent progress into entry-level film industry roles, film schools, and drama schools. Inspired by her own experiences growing up, one filmmaker established the Kent Film Foundation in 2010 to provide free workshops led by professional filmmakers, opening doors for young people regardless of background. The charity has earned recognition, including a nomination for the Colyer Fergusson 50th Anniversary Award for "Unlocking Opportunities."
