British Youth Film Academy (BYFA) British Youth Film Association

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. Regardless of background, connections or educational achievement, students are given the skills, confidence and the all-important experience to develop as filmmakers. Oh, and they have fun too!

“BYFA offers a unique opportunity for our students to participate in the making of a feature-length film. No-one else out there offers that!” — Sarah Probert, Shrewsbury College of Arts & Technology
