Kendal College Short Film Night: Second Year Students
Wed 17 Jun | 8.00pm-9.30pm | Screen 1

This special screening night showcases original short films from our second year UAL Extended Level 3 Film Production students. This year’s films explore powerful themes of Control, Thresholds or Inheritance, so expect bold ideas, fresh voices, and a mix of genres — from gripping documentary to the first (North) Western!
Step into the future of film at Kendal College’s Gateway Festival — our newly renamed end-of-year celebration of creativity and join us in celebrating the next generation of filmmakers.

Please be aware that each film will have its own rating from PG to 15 certifications, so this event will not be suitable for younger or more sensitive viewers.
