The BFI Future Film Festival is a United Kingdom film festival for young filmmakers (16-25 year-olds), organised by the British Film Institute. Founded in 2008, it takes place over a weekend in February each year, and focuses equally on fiction, animation and documentary.[1][2]

The festival provides emerging filmmakers and "young people who love watching films"[3] with masterclasses, workshops, film screenings from emerging filmmakers and Q&A sessions,[4] all at BFI Southbank in London. The festival is not just for filmmakers.

Before the second year of the festival, the BBC's Creative Director, Alan Yentob, said: "It's going to give young people a fantastic opportunity to get involved in something creative and possibly life-changing. Who knows, we may even be able to spot a couple of BAFTA winners of the future."[5] While The Guardian noted that the "festival is aimed at nurturing young film-makers, and there's plenty for them to be inspired by".[6] Later, in 2017, the BFI Film Academy alumni and the Future Film Lab Award winner Charlotte Regan's short film "Standby" was nominated for BAFTA[7]

In 2017, the festival's panel included producer Rebecca O'Brien and cinematographer Ben Davis for the workshop on cinematography [8] and Joe Wicks for Social Media Masterclass.[9] The first screening of the web-series 'Reality' directed by Nathan Bryon was also during the festival.[10][11]

The festival is part of a wider BFI Future Film program which also include a number of other different events aiming to support and help young filmmakers to learn more about the industry:

  • BFI Future Film Academy
  • Future Film Labs
  • Free Screenings + Q&A sessions
  • Future Film Recommends screenings
