BFI Film Academy Introductory Courses give young people aged 16-19 an overview of the film industry with a focus on ‘below the line’ production roles, screen heritage, exhibition and distribution. You will need to equip young people with general knowledge of the different roles and departments in these parts of the screen industries. Courses should also support participants to identify development opportunities for ‘above the line’ (writer, director, producer) roles, signposting them to other organisations and other programmes funded by the BFI, such as BFI NETWORK.

You will be required to offer some spaces on BFI Film Academy Introductory Courses to young people who attend National Saturday Clubs (NSC).
