The BFI Future Film Festival returns for its fifth year the weekend of February 18-19, with BFI Southbank once again the destination for aspiring filmmakers to check out the best new films from the next generation of UK talent.
Offering 15-25 year olds a chance to pick up essential skills from industry experts, this year’s FFF welcomes directors Dexter Fletcher (Wild Bill), Tom Kingsley and Will Sharp (Black Pond), VFX expert Ed Hall (Casino Royale, John Carter) and reps from IdeasTap, BFI Film Fund, The Script Factory, FILM CLUB, SAE Institute and BAFTA.
There’s also a very special LWLies session on Sunday 19 at 13:00, where our Deputy Editor and Creative Director will be discussing how to make a successful print publication in the digital age.
Also, the Future Film Awards will be presented over the weekend to the best young filmmakers to have entered films into the Future Film Festival. There will be awards for Best Fiction Film, Best Documentary and Best Animation in two age categories: 15-18 and 19-25.
