Gala 2024

The NFTS Gala 2024

Backing the next generation of film and television talent.

On 25th June 2024, The National Film and Television School hosted its annual fundraising Gala at Old Billingsgate. It is one of the screen industries’ must-attend events of the year. This year was another star-studded, black-tie celebration where major figures from in front of and behind the camera came together to raise much-needed funds to support students to attend and excel at one of the world’s best film schools.

As the UK’s film and television industry navigates through a challenging period, the NFTS remains at the forefront, offering an unparalleled range of behind-the-camera courses unmatched by any other institution globally. Our commitment to providing new entrants with skills tailored to real-world industry demands set the stage for success, with graduates of the NFTS consistently going on to achieve the highest levels of success in their respective fields.

To sustain and expand our impactful work, we need your support. Our yearly Gala serves as a crucial fundraiser for student scholarships and bursaries, enabling the School to forge innovative pathways across all facets of the industry. With thriving bases in Leeds, Scotland and Wales, we continually innovate our course delivery methods to align with our students’ needs across the UK. Diversity is a cornerstone of our mission and we are hugely passionate about increasing access and representation within the industry.

Make sure you join us next year in championing diversity, supporting education, and strengthening the NFTS as a beacon of excellence in the ever-evolving landscape of film, television and games. Our 2025 Gala will be held on Tuesday 24th June 2025. Email gala@nfts.co.uk for more information.

We are once again offering table buyers the opportunity to be joined at the Gala by a current NFTS student for dinner. Connecting with industry professionals in person is of crucial importance for emerging talent. For a special discounted rate of £400 we extend an invitation to introduce you to a talented young filmmaker from the NFTS, allowing them to benefit significantly from the evening as your guest. Don’t miss this valuable chance to foster the next generation of creative minds and enjoy an unforgettable evening of networking and collaboration!

We are looking forward to bringing some extra fun for our guests at the Gala with a Retro Photo Booth courtesy of our friends at Booths of London. They also offer mirror photo booths for hire in London.
