As part of Screen Northants’ Northampton Film Festival 2022: Know Your Place the social enterprise film company is running their first ever Expo aimed at the Film Industry regionally, and with a Careers Fair element for new entrants.

On Saturday May 21st Screen Northants are taking over the Learning Hub at Waterside Campus 11am – 5pm for a free event which aims to galvanise the established industry locally, raise awareness of current opportunities in film, television and associated industries, and demystify careers in the industry for those who are newer to it.

The event is made up of a Talk to Industry ‘people library’ of local professionals and friends of Screen Northants where attendees can discuss job roles, careers, skills and opportunities with people working in the industry. Currently this covers SFX Supervisors, local Emmy award winners, writers, directors, producers, head of legal and business affairs, locations, and drama and documentaries. There will also be live streamed Q&As with the Film Festival Doctor, Northampton raised Liza Rhea of Disney, CEO Bob Clarke and alumni of the MAMA Youth Project, and the vice chair elect of the British Film Designers Guild.

Plus many exhibitors including Creative England, ScreenSkills Mentoring, The National Film & Television School, world renowned SFX company Artem, lighting company CARRIER-media, Film Leicester, The Association of Motion Picture Sound, BECTU, Sara Putt Associates, Corby’s own Kinetics Space Studios, and martial arts cinema’s Fighting Spirit Film Festival.

There will be opportunities for people to network and find out more about the work of Screen Northants including their current ScreenSkills Mentoring programme which is open for applications for people living in Northamptonshire and some surrounding counties.

The whole event is free and suitable for both regional and national industry, as well as new entrants from secondary school age upwards. Book tickets at: Northants Film and Television Expo - with Careers Fair Registration, Sat 21 May 2022 at 11:00 | Eventbrite
