Description
Start your summer with a crash course in DIY filmmaking at BFI Southbank in London.
Inspired by the BFI’s Hitchcock season, BFI Future Film is bringing you another chance to make amazing short films at their DIY Film Fortnight – and this year they’re making thrillers. This practical fortnight includes masterclasses and workshops to help you understand and create short thriller films on a micro-budget. They’ll cover everything from planning and production to editing and SFX. At the end of the course the final films will be shown on the big screen in front of industry professionals and invited guests.
We have 12 FREE places to give away (normal price £30) to enthusiastic young filmmakers between the ages 16 and 19 who must be available every weekday from 17 to 31 August between 10am and 4pm (not including bank holiday Monday, 27 August). Please only apply if you can attend these dates.
This brief closes at 5pm on Friday 10 August and is open to IdeasTap aged 16 to 19. If you have any technical queries, visit the help centre. Late entries will not be accepted under any circumstances, including technical issues – so make sure you don’t leave your application to the last minute.
