BAFTA Worldwide

03 June 10

In its mission to support, develop and promote the art forms of the moving image, the Academy is extending its reach both nationally and internationally.

The Academy promotes creativity and rewards excellence around the world. In addition to our UK headquarters at 195 Piccadilly, we have established Nations & Regions offices at BAFTA in Wales (BAFTA Cymru) and BAFTA in Scotland alongside events across England. We also have two affiliates in the United States - BAFTA in Los Angeles and BAFTA in New York . The nations, regions and affiliates organise a regular programme of events, screenings and, in some cases, Award ceremonies.

In 2005, we began working with a number of English Screen Agencies in order to bring our activity to a broader and more diverse audience. The Academy's collaboration with the English Screen Agencies, known as BAFTA in the Regions offers a regional presence to the BAFTA members throughout England, and expands its reach. It also allows the Academy to engage with the general public, as well as a wider industry audience, and to explore the best way of promoting both emerging and established talent.

BAFTA	BAFTA in Wales The BAFTA Cymru Award ceremony is held annually and celebrates the excellence and diversity of film, television and new media programmes being made in both the Welsh and English languages, with Awards presented in over 30 craft, performance and production categories.
	BAFTA in Scotland BAFTA in Scotland makes a significant contribution to the promotion of the country's industries of film, television and interactive media. Following six successful years of highlighting new talent, in 2004 BAFTA in Scotland returned to a major annual event that rewards excellence in all aspects of Scotland's thriving screen industry.
John Sciulli/Berliner Studio/BEImages	BAFTA in Los Angeles BAFTA in Los Angeles, the oldest established branch, was founded in 1987. It aims to promote, maintain, improve and advance original and creative work amongst those employed in our industries, and who have a close association with the UK industry. Several screenings are held each month in Los Angeles, many followed by Q&A sessions, along with a number of high-profile events such as the annual Britannia Awards.
	BAFTA in New York BAFTA in New York is a slightly younger and still growing affiliate. Building on its year round programme of screenings and events, the organisation collaborates with other New York-based industry groups such as NYWIFT, Stellar Network, NTA and The International Television Academy.
