BFI Film Academy Short Course 2024
|
The 2024-25 edition of BFI Film Academy Short Course ran at City Eye from October 2023 - January 2025.
An intensive and inspiring course at City Eye's BFI Film Academy. The students worked hard to complete a film of their own devising, shaped by expert-led masterclasses, hands-on production training, and deep dives into scriptwriting, cinematography and sound design. From pre-visualisation to final edit, students navigated the entire filmmaking process - honing their skills.
Their film 'Midnight' is the darkly-comic tale of three colleagues trapped at work after the Y2K bug brings an apocalyptic end to their New Years Eve office party in 1999. 
Guest Speakers included
Based at City Eye in Southampton but serving the wider Solent and South-Central region, our 2023/4 BFI Academy Short Course recruited talented young filmmakers from Guildford to the New Forest and along the South Coast from Portsmouth to Southampton. City Eye is working closely with partners across the region to ensure that this year's activity is accessible to all young people.
