Chronic Youth Film Festival 2025

Celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2025, this annual two-day film festival at the Barbican is programmed entirely by young people aged 16 to 24 as part of the arts centre’s Young Film Programmers scheme. The free-to-attend, six-month talent development scheme sees the group determine the themes, film selections and connected public events ranging from poetry readings to panel discussions. Details of this year’s programme are expected soon.
