We welcome applications from talented young filmmakers from all backgrounds. The courses are completely free, including accommodation and food, and we provide generous financial assistance to ensure that travel, childcare or other prohibitive costs will not prevent any filmmaker from taking part – if you have the talent we will make sure you can attend.
BFI BURSARY SCHEME FOR TRAVEL, CHILD CARE AND ADDITIONAL COSTS
We have a bursary scheme for Travel, Child Care and Additional Costs. It is important that no student, wherever they live or their circumstance, should feel excluded because they can’t afford the costs.
Our course is based in Bristol and you will need to make your own way there at the start of the course. You can apply for all or part of your travel costs. Some young people may have caring responsibilities. You can apply for support to cover your childcare or any other costs that would be incurred because you are attending the course.
HOW DO I APPLY?
When you have been offered a place on the course we will ask if you want to claim a bursary. You then fill in this form and send it to us before the course starts. You will need to provide proof of any benefits you receive or other extenuating circumstances to support your application. You will also need to Keep receipts of your costs and if your application is successful we can re-imburse your expenses. If you need financial help to make initial purchases contact us and we will discuss your situation and work out a way to help.
Please contact us for further information on any of the above or if you would like to discuss your individual circumstances. Email: bficamps@callingtheshots.co.uk
