For BFI Film Academy SCENE we interview young filmmakers and BFI Film Academy alumni, posting these video interviews to the BFI YouTube channel on Thursdays at 4pm. SCENE provides an opportunity for young filmmakers to promote their films and gives you a chance to watch some amazing new shorts, ask questions and learn from your filmmaking peers. The Monday before, we share a link to the film to be discussed in that week’s Q&A across the BFI Film Academy social channels.
Our next season of SCENE is all about ‘Internalising the External’. Filmmaking is so often a transactional experience, as fragments of inner turmoil, exuberance, joy and anxiety manifest on screen. Shorts selected for our ‘Externalising the Internal’ season explore how psyche and reality intermingle, and how the gulf between the two informs the artistic process.
Watch the first SCENE of this season on Thursday 1 August at 4pm on the BFI YouTube Channel, where Felix Farrow will interview filmmaker Harv Frost about her music video for The Last Dinner Party – Caesar on a TV Screen.
