Opportunities for Young People in the Film Industry: BFI Film Academy Hubs
Young people aged 16–25 across the UK can now develop filmmaking, storytelling and digital creativity skills through the BFI Film Academy Hubs. Delivered by regional partners, these programmes offer hands‑on training, industry insight and accessible bursaries covering fees, travel, food and accommodation. Many participants join with no prior experience, and Ukrainian young people are very likely to qualify.
