BFI Film Academy comes to Signals!



Signals Media Arts Centre is delighted to announce that it has been appointed as one of the regional delivery partners for the BFI Academy. The announcement was made during a special launch event at the House of Commons on Wednesday 4th September.
The BFI Film Academy aims to help train and inspire the next generation of British filmmakers, supporting talented and committed young people aged 16 – 19 to develop the commercial and cultural knowledge and skills to make their dreams of a career in film a reality.
If you are aged 16 – 19 with a passion for filmmaking, this really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from industry professionals and develop your production skills. You will also get the chance to:
Visit a major UK film studio
Have exclusive access to the Colchester Film Festival
Gain a Silver level Arts Award

If you are interested in taking part in the BFI Academy at Signals please click here: BFI Academy Application Form to download the application form. You must be a UK resident and able to commit to the programme for its duration. If you are offered a place, there is a small one-off charge of £25 for the whole course, but don’t worry if you can’t afford this as we have a few bursary places available.

Signals are holding a special ‘Application Surgery’ on Monday 7th October at 5:30pm to answer any questions you may have and help you complete your application form. Please make sure you get your completed form back to us by the 9th of October 2013 either by post or email to info@signals.org.uk
