This includes complimentary access to the BFI Player, the BFI’s award-winning streaming platform. The player has over 700 films and is the leading platform for world and independent cinema. Our partnership also means access to a range of bespoke masterclasses given by BFI staff members and BFI network colleagues. You will also have access to a number of benefits, discounts and offers. As the BFI is only a short walk away from LSBU, on London’s South Bank, you have ready access to the organisation that curates and presents the greatest international public programme of world cinema for audiences in cinemas, at festivals - and online.
