We are delighted to be hosting a LAUNCH EVENT for the BFI Film Academy Highlands 2015 at the fantastic XpoNorth in Inverness on Thursday 11th June.
XpoNorth is Scotland’s leading creative Industries festival. A hot-bed of creative activity, it takes place over two exciting and energising days and nights in the Highland capital of Inverness. The only festival of its kind in Scotland covering fashion and crafts, publishing, screen and broadcast as well as music, XpoNorth is a unique event in the UK’s cultural calendar.
Our BFI Launch Event will take place in the SCREEN MACHINE on Thursday 11th June from 5-6pm where we will showcase the short films made on last year’s academy, as well as screen a behind the scenes documentary and hear from some of last year’s participants.
This will be an excellent opportunity for any young people aged 16-19 in the Highlands region to find out more about the Academy and consider signing up, as well as for Scotland’s creative industries to see the fantastic work produced by young filmmakers in the Highlands.
Delivered in the Highlands by Screen Education Edinburgh and Eden Court, jointly funded in Scotland by Creative Scotland and the British Film Institute, the BFI Film Academy aims to help train and inspire the next generation of British filmmakers, supporting talented and committed young people aged 16-19 to develop the commercial and cultural knowledge and skills to help make a career in film a reality.
The event is free to attend with seats allocated on a first come, first served basis.
