The Department of Film Studies is connected to a vibrant network of leading film and cultural organisations in the UK and internationally. We work closely with partners including the British Film Institute (BFI), Tate Modern, The Courtauld Institute of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), the Institut Français, the Korean Cultural Centre UK, the Japan Foundation and LUX. Through these collaborations, our staff contribute to film festivals, screenings, exhibitions, conferences and public events that shape contemporary film culture.
We also enjoy longstanding relationships with organisations such as the Barbican, The Cinema Museum and The Garden Cinema, creating opportunities for collaboration, learning and public engagement.
These partnerships extend far beyond London. Our students have attended the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy, and the Five Flavours Film Festival in Warsaw, Poland, benefiting from sponsored places, training programmes and networking opportunities. We also support our students' applications for accreditation to the International Film Festival Rotterdam, helping them gain first-hand experience of the global film industry.
