Hi, I’m Jon Wardle. I’m the Director of the British National Film and Television School. And we have joined up with the BFI. And with then we are running this six week course, Explore Filmmaking. So whether you’re a budding filmmaker or a film fan who wants to understand more about what happens behind the scenes on a film, this course will have something for you. Our team of award winning filmmakers will take you through their approach to telling stories on screen, as well as demystifying their own filmmaking specialisms. From writing and directing to cinematography, editing, and composing, each week your filmmaker host will use examples from their own work to explain and illustrate their craft.

You will also have the chance to see award winning short films from the NFTS. You’ll be encouraged to participate in the discussion by reflecting on your viewing, by thinking more deeply about what goes into the process of filmmaking. And for those of you who want to make films themselves, there’ll be some small scale practical activities and the chance to share you work. So come and join us on our course, Explore Filmmaking, and learn at the world’s number one international film school.
