It is with great sadness that the NFTS announces the death of our former Director and friend Nik Powell. He loved the School deeply and was incredibly proud of every one of our graduates. Nik leaves a lasting legacy and will be missed by us all.

After a jam packed screening of The Day Shall Come attended by students from across the NFTS, actor, writer, famed satirist and Director Chris Morris dropped in for a Masterclass and Q&A session hosted by NFTS Director Jon Wardle.

Whether you’re working in the industry already or wanting to start a career, the NFTS teaches critical skills in a real studio environment.

The week saw the prestigious BIFA 2019 nominations announced, with a record 13 named nominations for NFTS alumni. Hosted by British actors Naomi Ackie and Joe Cole at the Regent Street Cinema in London, NFTS graduates dominated many of the BIFA 2019 categories including: British Independent Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Debut Director, Best British Short Film, Cinematography, Editing, Visual Effects, Music, Production Design and Sound.
