The UK’s National Film & TV School in Beaconsfield has always had a very high reputation for its documentary course, with a steady steam of graduates such as Nick Broomfield, Kim Longinotto, Molly Dineen and Sean McAllister to name but a few. The school was originally founded by Colin Young in the early 1970’s and the documentary department has been headed by Dick Fontaine since 1995. It is therefore very good news to be able to report that Nik Powell has recently committed the NFTS’ support for the symposium in Cardiff next April.

We’re still working on the details, but the programme is coming together. More news soon…
