FACT Liverpool is a world-leading centre for art, film and the creative use of technology. We champion new ideas and experiences, nurturing the next generation of voices and visionaries to create a world of possibilities.
Following a successful first year, we’re delighted to continue our Young Film Programme traineeship with support from Film Hub North. This opportunity is open to a young person aged 18–25 based in the North West of England or North Wales who has a passion for film and is keen to develop skills in curating film programmes for young audiences at FACT.
As a Young Film Programmer trainee, we will equip you with the skills to develop your own film curating practice, as well as learning to facilitate groups of young people, enabling them to put on film events for a peer audience. You will assist the Film Programmer and Venue Hires Manager to establish partnerships with key organisations to support the development of a young film audience, focusing on those aged between 15 and 25 years old.
Paid Traineeship: £12.71 per hour
Hours of Work: 14 hours per week, typically on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, including occasional evening and weekend work
Contract: Fixed term contract for 15 months
A key focus of the traineeship will be engaging younger audiences by facilitating the young film programmers focus group, who in turn, curate a programme specifically designed for them, the aforementioned younger audiences. The trainee will lead and guide the group, assisting them in the project management of Stashed, hosted at FACT.
