LONDON
FELLOWS PROGRAM


GFS LDN Applications

GFD LDN Applications are open year-round. We review applications from January through March. Semi-Finalists are contacted for interviews during March & April. Finalists are chosen and notified in May.


The Programme

Students complete a 30-month university-level pre-professional immersion in cinematic storytelling and production training. The Fellows Programme is completely free of charge for all students, with food and travel expenses covered. 

Students receive instruction from leading filmmakers and industry professionals, including well known directors, writers and cinematographers. Each year, our students visit live sets, studios and screen their top films at prestigious venues. 

At the conclusion of The Fellows Programme, students enroll at top universities, or oftentimes jump straight into the creative industry.

The Students​

Incoming applicants are between the ages of 16 and 19. No prior filmmaking experience is required. Our programme is open to London residents.
