It's lights, camera, action for budding young film-makers whose blockbusters will be shown at a prestigious national film festival.

Youngsters aged nine to 11 from Templeton Community Primary School will have their films Done and Dusted and The Purse of Gold screened at The Co-operative Young Film-Makers Festival, which is being held on Thursday and Friday, October 8 and 9, at Bradford's National Media Museum.

The entries were among only 111 chosen from 320 productions entered by young film-makers, schools, youth groups, arts groups, colleges and video workshops from across the UK and beyond.  

The selected films, all under six minutes long, will be shown over nine screenings throughout the two-day event and include drama, documentary, animation and comedy films along with music videos.

Harry Potter star Matthew Lewis, who plays the comical character Neville Longbottom, will open this year's festival and take part in a questions and answers session for festival-goers.

The Co-operative Film-Makers Festival is organised by The Co-operative Group, the world's largest consumer-owned co-op, and has provided young people with the opportunity to air their films on the big screen since 1966.

Edgar Wright, award-winning director of smash hits Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz said: "The Co-operative Festival is a fantastic opportunity for any young film-maker. I saw all my early shorts in front of packed houses at the National Media Museum. It was great and inspired me ever onward."

Workshops at the festival include screenwriting, acting, Bollywood dancing and creating a movie soundtrack. Young film-makers will also have the chance to make an animation with David Bunting, who has worked on Shaun the Sheep and Disney's Tigger The Movie, and to find out how to get jobs in film and TV.
