LEGACY MEDIA INSTITUTE
bfm IFF Opportunity 2009 - Application

The Scholarship
In association with the Legacy Media Institute (LMI), bfm International Film Festival for the first time will offer one scholarship to a UK filmmaker. The opportunity will be based in Virginia, USA and commence in early 2010.

Built on a model similar to Robert Redford’s Sundance, the LMI is a support system for diverse, independent film artists located at a state-of-the-art facility providing training in filmmaking, business and media production.

The Legacy Media Institute in partnership with bfm IFF are looking for motivated and talented up and coming filmmakers who want to move forward more significantly in their careers.

The 6 week scholarship is education focussed and would consist of the opportunity to attend workshops and seminars along with other participants from various colleges and universities in the US. The opportunity may be extended to incorporate production work on a documentary project.

The scholarship would cover flight costs, dormitory housing, and a meal allowance for the length of the program.

Participants will need to have the financial mean to cover additional personal expenses.

The successful candidate will be announced by LMI founder African-American actor Tim Reid (sitcom Sister, Sister) on Tuesday 10th November 2009, at the bfm Shorts Awards.

Selection Criteria
Applications are open to UK based filmmakers who have produced at least one film project and exhibited at bfm International Film Festival (this year or in previous years).

We are looking for applicants who are;
• passionate and creatively daring
• flexible
• able to show initiative
• able to cover a portion of their personal expenses

Application Method
Please send your resume, DVD copies of your work and a statement (no more than one page) stating how you would benefit from the scholarship and why you should be chosen for the attention of Nadia Denton to Suite 13, 5 Blackhorse Lane, London E17 6DS or alternatively e-mail nadia@bfmmedia.com

Deadline for applications Monday 26th October 12pm 2009.
