Now in its seventh year, the LUMA Film Festival was created by University of York students to champion the work of the Department of Theatre, Film and Television. As well as screenings of student work, the event includes talks and workshops from leading professionals in the UK film and television industry. Past student work screened at LUMA has gone on to win awards and recognition at both national and international level.

Some of the activities on offer include:

  • Learn to make a TV show in the Department of Theatre, Film and Television’s industry-standard studio
  • Watch screenings of work by the Department’s budding filmmakers throughout the day in the Black Box theatre
  • Join leading industry figures in illuminating Q&As, panel discussions and workshops
  • Enjoy the Department’s BSc Interactive Media showcase, from digital art installations to virtual reality headsets designed by students.
