BFI Film Academy at Eastside
The 2024-2025 BFI Film Academy has now concluded.
Eastside has delivered an inspiring and quality learning experience for 21 students who received expert mentorship and had hands-on experience with the filmmaking process, building confidence and nurturing creative expression.
Students learned about story pitching, film producing, screenwriting, camera operation, editing and much more, in a comprehensive course that delivered a real taste of the film industry in 12 weeks (15 sessions).
At the end of the course and once students’ work has been assessed, successful participants receive an NCFE Level 2 Award in Preparing to Work in the Film Industry.
Filmmaking is a group effort, requiring commitment, dedication, creativity, and teamwork, and this year’s students displayed these qualities in abundance… congratulations to all!
