BFI

The British Film Institute (BFI) is a cultural charity and the foremost organization in the UK dedicated to film and moving image. Founded in 1933, the BFI not only preserves and grows the BFI National Archive— the largest film and television archive in the world— but also actively promotes creativity and storytelling among emerging UK storytellers.

The BFI offers a diverse range of programs and festivals that showcase both UK and international film culture, available online and in venues. Through its educational initiatives, the organization seeks to enhance public appreciation and understanding of cinema. In addition to film screenings, the BFI provides resources for learning and training, industry funding, and opportunities for public engagement.

With a mission to foster the growth of the UK’s screen industries, the BFI collaborates with government and industry stakeholders, making it a pivotal player in shaping film policy and strategy. Join the BFI, explore its offerings, and support the future of film in the UK.
