The Screen Team

In 2010, Cambridge Film Trust received Legacy Trust UK funding for the Screen Team, a unique film and events training programme for young volunteers looking to gain invaluable experience in these areas.

This year, the team has expanded to 15 volunteers and even more events, including the Fitzwilliam Museum and Grantchester Meadows as well as spectacular ‘On Location’ screenings at Rendlesham Forest, Wrest Park gardens and the Lee Valley Olympic White Water Centre.

Project Manager Becky Innes acts as the link between the team and the Cambridge Film Trust, ensuring the volunteers are given guidance tailored to their needs and ambitions, but also making the Screen Team a coherent part of the festival’s organisation. Find out more >>
