Into Film Clubs
Find out everything you need to know about starting an Into Film Club.
On Saturday 1 December 2018, the winning films produced as a result of our recent MicroPitch competition were shown as part of the Triforce Short Film Festival.
Visiting BAFTA HQ in London with their family and friends, the winners were given the opportunity see their films on the big screen, and then took part in a panel to discuss their filmmaking journeys and their aspirations for the future. All received rapturous applause, commendations for their efforts and ongoing filmmaking support from the wider filmmaking community.
What the winners said:
"It's been an amazing experience, it feels surreal."
"I cannot believe my first film has been shown at BAFTA!"
"It was the most nerve-wracking experience being on stage, but I feel great now and want to do it again."
"The filmmaking process is so detailed, I really appreciate how much it takes to make a great film."
We were overwhelmed by the quality of films at this year's festival. It's fantastic to see such a diverse range of stories and storytellers, and I believe that having a more diverse judging panel resulted in a wider range of films being recognised for their quality and originality.
