The Diverse Directors Workshop, run by the National Film and Television School (NFTS), is a leading diversity programme to increase the number of women, people from BAME backgrounds and those with disabilities working in screen directing. This year’s programme is being sponsored by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures UK.  The course, which has no fees, will see participants able to attend special masterclasses and events with actors and film-makers from some of Disney’s forthcoming titles.

NFTS and Royal Holloway, University of London have won a competition to run the new National Centre for Immersive Storytelling following a competition run by UK Research and Innovation.

NFTS announces that Roger Deakins is the winner of the 2018 ‘Sue Gibson BSC, Cinematography Award.’

NFTS announces seven new courses for NFTS Scotland, its new hub based at BBC Scotland in Glasgow. 12 months after First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, announced funding in her keynote speech at the Edinburgh International Television Festival to support plans for the NFTS to open the hub, the School can report a successful start.
