About the Independent Cinema Office

The Young Film Network SE was established in 2017 by the Independent Cinema Office (ICO). We are the UK’s national agency for independent cinema and film festivals. Our mission is to champion the broadest range of cinema, and to develop audiences, venues and talent. 

As well as the opportunities and resources available through Young Film Network SE, we offer a broad range of wider support and activities for emerging film exhibition professionals like our busy Jobs Board, Screening Days Events, Professional Training, and Resources and Guides.

There are also details of
Film Hub South East, part of the BFI Film Audience Network, and BFI NETWORK South East, both of which are also administered by us.


If you’re thinking about a future in film exhibition, we invite you explore our website and sign up for our newsletter lists.
