BFI Film Academy 2024/25

Touchstones’ BFI Film Academy 2024/25 applications are now OPEN!

We are looking for 10 young filmmakers and film fans aged 16-19 to take part in our BFI Film Academy 2024/25. This project will cover practical filmmaking skills, film theory, programming, distribution and certification.

During this project you will work with your fellow young filmmakers, and a range of industry professionals, as you make a short film from start to finish. You will learn about everything from development, production and post-production as you are guided through the filmmaking process, and an opportunity for your film to be screened in a top cinema in Manchester.

Whether you are an avid filmmaker, have studied film or are just starting out with a passion to learn more, then this is the opportunity for you!

If you have any questions or want to chat to a member of the team before applying, email creativecommunities@yourtrustrochdale.co.uk.

Deadline for applications is Friday 27 September at 5pm. Applications may close early if there is high demand so we advise getting your application in as soon as possible.
