The BFI, or the British Film Institute, is the lead organisation for film, television and the moving image in England. It is a cultural charity that curates and presents the greatest international public programme of world cinema for audiences in cinemas, at festivals and online. The BFI cares for the National Archive, the most significant film and television archive in the world. The organisation actively seeks out and supports the next generation of filmmakers by offering courses at a low cost to help young people break into the film industry. They offer courses on many different disciplines, from scriptwriting, to editing. The BFI believes that everyone should be able to access training, which is why they also offer bursaries for young people who are enthusiastic about the world of film but aren’t able to afford the cost of the courses. The BFI also works with government and industry to make the UK the most creatively exciting and prosperous place to make movies. Additionally, they distribute National Lottery funds for film development, production and distribution. Founded in 1933, the BFI is a registered charity governed by Royal Charter.
