Screen and Film School to open in Birmingham
The Screen and Film School is opening a new state-of-the-art campus in Birmingham next September.
Screen and Film School executive principal, Dara Kilkenny said: “Following the success of our locations in Brighton and Manchester we’re continuing to expand our offer to budding talent with a passion for cinema in the creative centre that is Birmingham.
“Our new state-of-the-art Birmingham facility will offer the very best training for those wishing to enter into the world of film and television, and the rich and vibrant city of Birmingham, with its strong history of culture, film and art, seemed the perfect location. Knowing that we have a hand in the digital media of tomorrow is what drives us, and we can’t wait to welcome our first intake of fledgeling filmmakers next September.”
Screen and Film School is sponsoring Birmingham Film Festival 2020, which will take place this Saturday 21 November in the form of an online awards gala.
To support local filmmakers, SFS is sponsoring the ‘Best Screenplay’ and ‘Best First Time Filmmaker’ awards, offering a £500 prize fund to each of the award winners to continue to support them with their journey to a successful career in film.
CEO of Birmingham Film Festival, Dean Williams, said: “I’m really looking forward to working alongside Screen and Film School; it’s a great fit as we share the same core values in helping up and coming filmmakers with a gateway to industry and providing them opportunities and a platform to realise their dreams in a very exciting industry.”
