Some exciting news has been brought to our attention from mentor on the Video Art Bursary scheme here at the BFI, Phillip Warnell. Jacob Dwyer, who is a BFI Video Art Bursary Winner, was successful in being offered a place to study the brand new MA Experimental Film course at KingstonUniversity, London, which starts in October 2011. Jacob, who graduated Newcastle University this summer with an outstanding 1st Class Honours degree in Fine Art, was then nominated by Phillip, who is also the director of studies on the course at KingstonUniversity, for an AHRX bursary to help him pursue this MA programme. Wonderfully he was successful in obtaining it. This bursary will cover his fees and maintenance costs for the duration of the one-year course.
Phillip added that he was “delighted that Jacob has been offered the opportunity, both in joining the MA Experimental Film programme atKingston, and in gaining such an award. His film work undoubtedly merits his success”.
Congratulations and good luck on the course Jacob!
