“NAHEMI acts as a forum for debate on all matters pertaining to the teaching of practice in the Moving Image in Higher Education.”

We offer fantastic opportunities for students, including:
Eat Our Shorts – our annual short film festival screening at BFI Southbank. Every member institution can select up to 12 minutes of their best student work for screening.

NAHEMI National Student Film Awards (NSFA) institutions and/or individual graduates can submit final films for selection, with a range of craft awards commended to individual films.
The selected NSFA screening programme becomes the NAHEMI Selected Programme and is screened at various festivals which have included London Short Film Festival, Ffresh, Aesthetica, Watersprite, and Encounters.
