The BFI Film Academy Network programme delivered by Cinemagic equips young filmmakers, passionate about film, with the knowledge, skills, insight, confidence and practical training to help lay strong foundations for their pursuit of a career in the film industry. In addition to the industry and skills training and access to top professionals, the participants work in groups to make short films. A number of past participants in the programme have been involved in a series of exciting projects since their involvement with companies like HBO, Warner Brothers, BAFTA and Disney and some of our outstanding students were awarded places at the prestigious NFTS & Scottish Residential courses.
