We support careers, champion creativity, and celebrate the exceptional storytelling emerging from the film, games and TV industry.

What does BAFTA North America do?

BAFTA North America champions the work of the creative screen industries in the US. With a presence in LA since 1987, and New York since 1996, we have been promoting and advancing creative work within film, games and TV for more than 35 years.

We do all this through an exciting program of activity including:

  • hosting regular screenings on both coasts
  • facilitating inspiring Q & A sessions for our members
  • staging a host of events; including our extra special Tea Parties that bring our members together across film, games and TV
  • running successful learning, inclusion, and talent development programs in North America
