The Digital Arts Academy is a brand new programme for 18-29 year-olds who are living, studying, working or spending significant time in Wandsworth and want to develop practical skills in filmmaking. The programme takes place over 11 weeks between October and December.   

We are looking for 10 young people to take part in weekly creative workshops facilitated by BAC staff, Ghetto Film School London alumni, Today @ Apple experts, filmmakers, and industry leaders. Participants can expect to learn brand new skills in storytelling, editing, operating equipment and more. Our Academy members will also receive an iPad, headphones and an Apple Pencil for the duration of the programme.  

As the cohort develop their skills, they are also working towards creating their own short films. The programme will culminate with a private screening of everyone’s completed films held at Battersea Arts Centre.

Digital Arts Academy is part of BAC’s Next Gen creative engagement programmes for ages 11-29, supported by Apple.
