SCREEN HERITAGE
Thurrock’s heritage is rich but often overlooked. Film Thurrock is dedicated to preserving and sharing these stories through screen heritage and digital projects, working closely with local and national partners and diverse communities.
The Thurrock Young Film Network offers brilliant opportunities for young people aged 18–25 to gain hands-on experience in the film industry. Participants can get involved through work experience, shadowing, and volunteering across a range of areas.
