Annual Events BAFTA LOS ANGELES THE BRITISH ACADEMY OF FILM AND TELEVISION ARTS SUPPORTS, DEVELOPS AND PROMOTES THE ART FORMS OF THE MOVING IMAGE BY IDENTIFYING AND REWARDING EXCELLENCE, INSPIRING PRACTITIONERS AND BENEFITING THE PUBLIC. As the only Anglo-American professional organization founded to promote and advance original work in film, television and interactive media, The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Los Angeles serves as a link between the Hollywood and British production and entertainment business communities. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ A California non-profit public benefit corporation, BAFTA Los Angeles is a local organization with a global reach. As the L.A. branch of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, headquartered in London, we represent not only our 1,200 members, but the full 6,500 Academy members based in the United Kingdom, New York and Los Angeles. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Membership in the Academy is both highly sought after and highly exclusive – applicants must be proposed and seconded by existing Academy members and thus represent the very top professionals in their various fields; from award winning writers, actors and directors, to key managers, network and studio executives and agents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ We host stellar parties and awards ceremonies, honoring achievement in film and television, and produce educational events and seminars for our membership. But we also seek to form a bridge between our industry and the wider community, offering scholarships, student film awards, high school Shakespeare workshops, inner-city screening programs and parties, putting our membership’s incredible expertise to astounding effect in the Los Angeles community.
