Raindance is an accredited film school with a fierce independent spirit. We have been teaching both novice and experienced filmmakers since 1992. Our ethos is centered on independence, and our courses are designed to help you develop your skills your way, in your own style.

The organisation was founded in 1992 by Elliot Grove as a thought experiment: Can you make a film with no money, no training, and no experience? Based in the heart of London, Raindance combines the Raindance Film Festival, hands-on industry-focused filmmaking, screenwriting and acting courses.

In October 1993, the Raindance Film Festival was born, premiering at London’s Prince Charles Cinema and Ciné Lumière. The festival now runs annually in June in London’s West End, showcasing groundbreaking films from emerging and established filmmakers worldwide.

In 1998, Raindance created the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA), an annual celebration of the best UK independent films of the year, held every December. Past winners include My Name is Joe, Billy Elliot, Vera Drake, This Is England, Slumdog Millionaire, Aftersun, and All of Us Strangers.
