The Industry Forum at BFI London Film Festival 2024 in partnership with American Express offers unique opportunities to hear from international and UK creatives and industry leaders.
We present a series of discussion events and talks, press and industry screenings, and networking opportunities for industry professionals.
Speakers will look at how industry can collaborate further to benefit creativity and business, nurture new talent, and share new ideas and experience. The Forum also offers curated talent programmes.
We invite UK and international film professionals, press, and those building a career in the screen industries to apply for accreditation.
