BFI Flare: London Lgbt Film Festival has announced the successful filmmakers who will take part in the inaugural BFI Flare Mentorship program in partnership with Creative Skillset. This pilot program offers support to five emerging Lgbt filmmakers who will be mentored by a senior figure from the film industry as they develop industry knowledge, professional connections, their passion for cinema and an overview of Lgbt features entering the marketplace with a tailored 9 month program of talks and screenings.
The winning filmmaker participants and their specially chosen mentors are:
Aleem Khan, writer/director, whose short film "Three Brothers" was BAFTA nominated in 2015 and who is currently working on new feature, "After Love." Mentor: Ben Roberts , Director, BFI Lottery Film Fund
Claire Kurylowski, whose web-based work, "In Real Life," garnered a place in Dazed Digital’s Visionaries series and had its cinema premiere at the Institute of Contemporary Arts as part of London Short Film Festival Mentor: Ester Martin Bergsmark, award-winning Swedish filmmaker ("Something Must Break," "She Male Snails")
Islay Bell-Webb, writer, an Nfts graduate who co-wrote "Slap" (directed by Nick Rowland), which was also BAFTA nominated earlier this year Mentor: Russell T. Davies OBE ("Doctor Who" and recently "Cucumber," "Banana" and "Tofu")
Rachelle Constant producer, who is currently a development editor at BBC Continuing Drama and recently produced short film "Two Dosas" which screened at BFI London Film FestivalMentors: Mike Goodridge, CEO of Protagonist Pictures, former editor Screen International; and BAFTA-nominated producer Gavin Humphries

Tricia Tuttle, BFI Deputy Head of Festivals, said, “ Watching BFI Flare (formerly Llgff) grow in the last decades, we can see just how much Lgbt cinema has matured and emerged from the shadows. This is rich, vibrant work representing the diversity of Lgbt experience across the globe. But we were also aware there is still a lot of work to be done to support British filmmakers who are Lgbt identified and who may want to tell these stories. We were genuinely impressed by the number of quality applications we received, and blown away by the talent and spirit of our five selected filmmakers. The future of British Lgbt cinema looks very bright indeed. ”
