      • Thanks! By the way, I applied for that Cinema Programme Assistant job at the ICA. Jealous. Also, I'm working at the BFI and will be stationed at the ICA for the duration of the London Film Festival, so maybe see you there?

    • This is a training opportunity, not a job, and so there is no payment. It's free for participants to attend the events and screenings. Thanks!

    • You don’t have to be from London, but the programmers meet fortnightly on Wednesdays, and the last Saturday of every month between October and June and the Barbican want to offer places to people who can make the majority of sessions.
