On Thursday May 1, BAFTA has announced the 75 projects longlisted for the 2025 BAFTA Student Awards. A review panel of 100 BAFTA members selected the titles moving ahead to the next round of the program.
This year’s BAFTA Student Awards welcomed 1034 film, games and immersive submissions from 154 schools across 39 countries, including Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States and Uruguay.
This year’s longlist will compete for nominations in Animation, Documentary, Live Action, Games, and Immersive. The finalists for these categories will be announced at the end of May.
All students on the longlist are invited to join a week of virtual programming and mixers where they will be introduced to industry professionals and mingle with their global peers recognized at this stage.
We thank our great friends, our partners at Delta, and Virgin Atlantic for their ongoing support.
