The Birmingham Film & TV Market (BFTM) returns 24-27 June 2025 with a larger and more ambitious programme of events. Now in its fourth edition, the industry EXPO will feature seminars, workshops, networking, pitching and job opportunities.
This year’s BFTM EXPO builds on the success of the highly curated BFTM pitch event. The annual BFTM pitch event, taking place on 27 June, links emerging producers and filmmakers with top executives from some of the UK’s leading film and TV investors and distributors.
In addition to the pitch event, the BFTM EXPO has a Pitching and Producing Day on 24 June; a Writers Day on 25 June; and a Job Fair on 26 June. Industry names such as BBC Writers Room, BFI Global Screen Fund, Create Central and PACT will all be present with panels and talks.
Award winning actor and director Adrian Lester CBE returns as BFTM Ambassador: “The Birmingham Film and TV Market is fast becoming one of this country’s leading events for talented filmmakers and commissioners to come together to develop exciting projects. Birmingham continues to evolve back into a hub for TV & film production and the BFTM is a vital part of its future”.
