Developing young people’s digital skills, voice, confidence, experience and networks so they go into the creative sector and thrive. Rife focussed on young people’s voices and creativity to set the agenda in the sector, driving it forward so it continues to innovate and inspire.

The film and television industry in the UK is thriving but a skills shortage and lack of diversity within the sector threaten to undermine it's future. The BFI Film Academy identifies and nurtures young talent to help the sector continue to thrive.

Watershed is the regional Hub Lead Organisation for the BFI’s Film Audience Network initiative to develop audiences for a broader range of film. We work with cinemas, film exhibitors and distributors across the South West to promote great British and international independent cinema.
