Leeds Young People's Film Festival 2008 begins on Thursday 27 March with films, top guests and filmmaking workshops. The region's premier film event specifically for young people opens with a preview of the eagerly-awaited 'Son Of Rambow', about a sheltered boy in the 1980s who befriends the local bad boy and decides to re-make the hit movie, 'Rambo'.

Also featuring are CGI animation adventure 'Impy's Island', and the powerful documentary 'We Are Together', following a South African orphanage's attempt to raise funds by sending its incredible choir on a fraught UK to tour.
