The BFI Film Academy screenwriting course has been designed to give you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet experts, write scripts, learn practical skills and meet like-minded people.
The academy will include two weekend residentials and additional online sessions. During the course you will work in a group to write a short script and on your own to write a monologue or duologue.
We will provide updates throughout the application process should Government COVID-19 guidelines change. In the event that we move the course to in-person teaching, COVID-19 guidelines will be adhered to and we will continually assess the safest and most appropriate way of conducting the course.
