The Palace is part of the Young Film Programmer’s Network established in 2017 by Film Hub South East to connect and support film programming groups of young people age 16-25.
In 2018-19 the Palace’s Benshi Young Programmers met regularly to increase their knowledge of independent film and have the opportunity to programme, plan, market and present five screening events.
These included a special screening of the classic J-horror RING (1998) + Q&A with the distributor, an all-singing all-dancing ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975), a family screening of MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO (1988) + origami workshop, a GREMLINS (1984) Christmas special complete with headless gremlin cookies, and a collaboration on the short film programme for Ramsgate International Film & TV Festival.
We’re working now with young programmers on the Palace Passport Project and look forward to re-launching a regular Young Film Programmers group soon.
