What's it all about?
JAM on the Marsh and Screen South, with support from National Lottery Heritage Fund funded Fifth Continent, are launching an exciting new film making competition, open to residents of Kent or Sussex. This project includes a limited number of free filmmaking masterclass places and public screenings.
The Film Competition
Due to Covid-19 restrictions we are temporarily postponing the Jam on the Marsh film competition until later in the year, when it will be more appropriate for people to visit the Marsh to shoot their films. We will make an announcement in July with some additional guidance about the revised format of the event.
