Who are Wicked Wales?
From the very beginning in 1997 when the Pop In Centre in Prestatyn, North Wales was first opened, the importance of providing creative experiences and visual learning for young people was then we have delivered annual arts and film festivals, appreciated. Every year since opportunities for young volunteers and a year-round programme of arts and media activities.
Eight years ago Wicked Wales was developed to deliver an annual International Youth Film Festival. At that time there were 4 Youth Film Festivals in Wales.
Currently, they are the only youth film festival to survive.
