The BFI Film Academy provides opportunities for talented and committed young people aged 16–19 with an interest in screenwriting to develop new skills and build a career in the film industry, no matter where they live or what their background.

You don’t have to have written for film before, you just need to have passion and enthusiasm for writing.

The course fee includes accommodation and food and a generous bursary scheme ensures that costs will not prevent any filmmaker from taking part — if you have the talent we will make sure you can attend.
