The U.K.’s renowned National Film and Television School (NFTS) has partnered with the Sean Connery Foundation to establish a new Scottish filmmaking center in Edinburgh.

The NFTS Sean Connery Institute, which will launch in 2027, will bring together and expand the NFTS’ work in Scotland under one banner, with a mission to “discover and develop the next generation of Scottish film and television talent, and help them build lasting careers.” The initiative, it says, aims to “support the growth of filmmakers and help ensure that Scotland’s diverse voices are heard both nationally and internationally.”
