BFI NETWORK Filmmaker Mixers are informal monthly meet-ups for filmmakers across the North of England.
Each month, our BFI NETWORK Talent Executives travel to a different venue in the region to host a mixer. These events bring local creatives together and offer opportunities to grow your network, find new collaborators, and connect with the filmmaking community. There’s no set agenda – come along, introduce yourself to someone new, and start a conversation.
Attendance is free, but you’ll need to sign up in advance.
