An unprecedented number of NFTS alumni are unveiling new projects at the Sundance Film Festival which runs from the 24th January to the 3rd February 2019.

“Give the audience a ringside seat from their living room!” Students on the NFTS Sports Production Diploma were joined by Sky TV Director Sara Chenery, who, with over 25 years’ experience working as a Director and Producer for Sky Sports, gave an insightful, honest and inspiring masterclass.

The NFTS was delighted to welcome two Oscar winners to the school recently – Director Damien Chazelle (La La Land, Whiplash) and Screenwriter Josh Singer (The Post, Spotlight, The West Wing).  Josh and Damien gave an inspirational Masterclass about their acclaimed film together, First Man.

The Diverse Directors Workshop, run by the National Film and Television School (NFTS), is a leading diversity programme to increase the number of women, people from BAME backgrounds and those with disabilities working in screen directing. This year’s programme is being sponsored by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures UK.  The course, which has no fees, will see participants able to attend special masterclasses and events with actors and film-makers from some of Disney’s forthcoming titles.
