New Voices is our three-month talent development scheme for underrepresented voices in the south west of England. We’re seeking writer-directors who have a short film idea but need some support to develop their script, build their confidence in the craft and prepare them to apply for BFI NETWORK funding.

This is the fourth round of the scheme and we’re proud to be working with partners Blak Wave Productions, Little By Little Films and Bristol AF Productions. New Voices will run from Tue 23 Sep to Wed 17 Dec 2025.

This is a drop-in session, a chance to meet the BFI NETWORK SW team and a chance to ask questions about the scheme and see if it’s the right step for you.

If you have any access requirements for this session, please either indicate this in your sign-up form or email us directly at bfinetwork@watershed.co.uk.

The zoom link will be sent in your order confirmation email and in any reminder emails.
