BAFTA

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is an independent charity that supports, develops and promotes the art forms of the moving image by identifying and rewarding excellence, inspiring practitioners and benefiting the public.

In addition to its Awards ceremonies, BAFTA has a year-round, international programme of learning events and initiatives that offers unique access to some of the world’s most inspiring talent through workshops, masterclasses, scholarships, lectures and mentoring schemes, connecting with audiences of all ages and backgrounds across the UK, Los Angeles and New York.

BAFTA relies on income from membership subscriptions, individual donations, trusts, foundations and corporate partnerships to support its ongoing outreach work.

Our Mission

BAFTA is proud of its curated membership that forms a unique community of approximately 7,580 creatives and professionals worldwide and of its vast collective experience across film, television and games. BAFTA identifies, rewards and celebrates excellence at its internationally renowned annual awards ceremonies, while providing many opportunities for the public – as well as industry practitioners and emerging talent – to find information and inspiration through its year-round programme of events, initiatives and activities.

We are committed to sharing insights into the crafts of the people who work in film, television and games by staging over 250 public events a year across the UK, the US and beyond. This wide-ranging programme of events gives members, the industry and the public at large many opportunities to learn first-hand from the finest practitioners in the business.

Access to this wealth of inspiring knowledge extends online, at BAFTA Guru. Through our awards, events and online resources, we drive standards ever higher, seek out and encourage new and emerging talent, and inspire practitioners while celebrating the very best creative work in film, television and games today.
