Course dates 17-23 February 2025. Click here for event listing.

We’re looking for 30 enthusiastic, motivated young people looking to take their first step into the film industry.

Across one week of in-person learning, discover film curation, visit film archives and studios and learn about how they operate throughout the year, and work in teams to curate collections of shorts and archive films, which will tour to venues, film festivals and much more.

The course provides the chance to learn about the film archive world across film preservation, restoration, curation, programming and how archive moving-image material contributes to production. It delivers on-site visits to leading national, regional and broadcast moving image archives and in-person sessions from experts in the industry.

The course is free to take part in, and we have a generous bursary scheme that can cover the cost of travel or access requirements to ensure that the programme is as accessible as possible.

Applications close Friday 17 January 2025.
