Twenty committed and creative applicants take part in the upcoming BFI Film Academy’s Short Course programme each year.
The course offers an inclusive and supportive experience through a 4-week process of practical and theory-based filmmaking masterclasses, delivered by esteemed screen industry professionals who are working full-time in Film & TV.
Participants receive first-hand accounts of not only what their jobs involve, but also the journeys they took to get there and how participants can forge their own path into the Film and TV industry.
Once participants have completed the course, they become part of the ever-growing alumni network of both Broadway’s wider network and BFI Film Academy alumni across the UK - and are be presented with exclusive access to events and opportunities such as:
- Career talks and mentoring, training masterclasses and bootcamps
