Are you a filmmaker aged 16 to 25? Would you like one of your short films to be considered for inclusion in the 14th BFI Future Film Festival, in February 2021?
We’re inviting filmmakers to submit their work to the BFI Future Film Festival, the British Film Institute's annual film festival for young people, held at the BFI Southbank in London. This year we have up to £15,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, including money to support your next film and your career.
If your film is selected, you will be invited to attend the festival at BFI Southbank, and you’ll be allocated a limited number of tickets for screenings of your film for contributors, family and friends.
Your short must be 10 minutes or under in length, have been produced in the last two years and be an interesting and original concept, with good production values and an entertaining subject matter. You must have been aged 16-25 when you made the film.
Before you apply, please read the rules and terms below. For more information about the festival, head to the BFI website (bfi.org.uk).
Good luck!
Future Film Festival is supported by the Reuben Foundation.
