The International Student Film Organization (ISFO) is a FREE online film network which aims to connect young film makers from all over the world to each other and the industry. Its targets are to increase the overall visibility and quality of student films and to support the next generation of international talent.
Registered in London, the ISFO is based at www.futureinfilm.com. The website serves as a gateway for students to access benefits such as a newsletter, their own customized profile ad portfolio, forums, competitions, discounts and internal messaging services. Companies are invited to publish information about competitions, festivals and products which are relevant to film students.
The ISFO feels that with the film industry ‘facing one of the most challenging periods of change in its 115-year history’ (Screendaily.com), it is more important than ever to encourage a new, outstanding generation of young film makers to believe in their talent and pursue a career in the industry. The transnational platform will enable students to discuss their ideas with people from other countries and support them in critically evaluating their skills on an international market.
The website was founded and developed by recent Cambridge graduate and National Student Film Association (UK) chairperson Franzi Florack and is supported by several high profile film organisations in the UK. Most recently, the ISFO has worked with Taghi Amirani (TED senior fellow), Jennifer Bors (Academy Award winning student film maker), Andy Baker (head of MOFILM) and the British Film Institute. Victoria Humphrys of the British Film Institute commented: ‘The International Student Film Organization is a brilliant new initiative which offers fantastic opportunities to young film makers. We are looking forward to working with them in the future.’
