The future of filmmaking? It’s alive and kicking right here in the Midlands.
East and West go head-to-head in this showcase of films from the BFI Film Academy’s 2025 cohort. Young filmmakers aged 16-19 rep their corners and put their own spin on life in the region.
These rising talents have sharpened their creative voices and flexed their filmmaking muscles, delivering bold, punchy stories rooted in Midlands identity.
Consider this a friendly rivalry on screen: different perspectives, shared ambition, and a whole lot of emerging talent ready to make its mark on UK film.
A big thanks to CrewHQ, Cole Edwards and Claudia Jessie for supporting this event.
