BFI Film Academy Short Courses train and inspire aspiring filmmakers aged 16-19. Over the course of several weeks, participants learn about the film industry, hear from expert mentors and get the chance to create their own short film from start to finish.
Short Courses are available across the North of England, and are delivered by leading arts organisations who can help you break into the film industry.
