The Co-operative British Youth Film Academy (BYFA) British Youth Film Academy

Bridging the gap
between education
and the film industry

From camera to wardrobe, and from acting to post-production, our students work with professional filmmakers on a real film set to produce a quality full-length feature film. Students are given the skills, confidence and the all-important experience to develop as filmmakers. Oh, and they have fun too!
