The British Film Institute is a UK based charity that works to preserve the history of film and television culture. The BFI awards lottery funding to filmmakers, aiding them in funding film production, distribution, education and audience development. BFI offer a range of educational courses, including the BFI Film Academy.
The BFI Film Academy offers the opportunity to young filmmakers to produce and release their film. The BFI Film Academy have released many 'shorts' online, ranging across a large variety of genre's and styles', from documentaries to horrors.
BFI have also created the BFI Film Fund which uses lottery funds to develop and support original UK filmmakers and films, which can be used across the production and development of a film. The BFI website also includes a list of film festivals that are ongoing - allowing young, inexperienced filmmakers to submit a product with the chance of earning more funding to develop and advance on their product to bring it up to a much more professional standard.
Here is a film that was funded, and produced, by the BFI Film Academy:
