BYFA<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Co</strong>-<strong>operative</strong> British Youth Film Academy (BYFA) is the UK’s<br />
only co-<strong>operative</strong>ly run film academy. Owned by its member<br />
colleges and universities, it delivers activity-packed Summer<br />
Camps, focused on the production of a full-length professional<br />
feature film, as well as year-round educational opportunities.<br />
BYFA is open to all young people (14-25), regardless of<br />
background, contacts or experience.<br />
At BYFA Summer Camps, students work with professional film-makers on a real film set<br />
– activities include camera, grip, lighting, sound, music, art, acting, production and post<br />
production. <strong>The</strong>y are given the opportunity to gain the skills, confidence and hands-on<br />
experience to develop and grow, both as people and film-makers. And the quality of the<br />
film produced is great too – BYFA’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar<br />
premiered at the 2011 Raindance Film Festival.<br />
