NFVF supports Trevor Jones Scholarship
The Trevor Jones Scholarship is an initiative by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), National Film and Television School (NFTS) and world-acclaimed South African-born screen composer Trevor Jones to assist talented young South African filmmakers study in the UK at the NFTS. Offered every two years, the next opening will be announced soon for the 2009 academic year.
The NFVF, in collaboration with the NFTS and Jones (Last of the Mohicans, Cliffhanger, In the Name of the Father, Brassed Off, Notting Hill, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Around the World in 80 Days) will equally contribute funds for the Trevor Jones scholarship for South Africans who are successfully accepted for their Masters Degree in Film Studies at the NFTS. Talks were initially held between the three parties on 20 October 2005.
The National Film and Television School is one of the UK's most prestigious institutions for postgraduate education in film and television. The NFTS provides purpose-built film studios and a separate large television studio and facilities. Students learn from some of the UK's most accomplished film and television programme makers and the high tutor-to-student ratio allows teaching to be very specific to individual students' needs.
The tutors at NFTS are industry leaders - teachers such as Stephen Frears (The Queen) in Fiction Direction, Brian Tufano (Trainspotting) in Cinematography, the Television Department's David G Croft (Live Aid, Shooting Stars, Top of the Pops) and Nik Powell, the director at NFTS, and a producer himself (Calendar Girls, Little Voice, The Crying Game).
