The Academy - Our Mission

The Academy is proud of its expert membership of approximately 6,500 individuals in the UK and the US and of its vast collective experience across film, television and games. The Academy identifies, rewards and celebrates excellence at its internationally-renowned, annual BAFTA Awards ceremonies whilst providing many opportunities for the public – as well as industry practitioners and emerging talent – to find information and inspiration through its year-round programme of events, initiatives and activities.

The Academy is committed to sharing insights into the crafts of the people who work in film, television and games by staging over 200 public events a year across the UK and beyond. This wide-ranging programme of events gives members, the industry and the public at large many opportunities to learn first-hand from the finest practitioners in the business.

Access to this wealth of inspiring knowledge extends online, at www.bafta.org/guru . Through our Awards, events and online resources, we help drive standards ever higher, seek out and encourage new and emerging talent and inspire practitioners whilst celebrating the very best creative work in film, television and games today.
