The Museum of the Moving Image (MOMI) was a museum of the history of cinema technology and media sited below Waterloo Bridge in London. It was opened on 15 September 1988 by Prince Charles. The museum formed part of the cultural complex on the South Bank of the River Thames. MOMI was mainly funded by private subscription and operated by the British Film Institute. MOMI was closed in 1999, initially on a supposedly temporary basis, and with the intention of its being relocated to Jubilee Gardens nearby. Its permanent closure was announced in 2002.

BFI Future Film Festival
BFI Future Film Festival

The BFI Future Film Festival is a United Kingdom film festival for young filmmakers (16-25 year-olds), organised by the British Film Institute. Founded in 2008, it takes place over a weekend in February each year, and focuses equally on fiction, animation and documentary.The festival provides emerging filmmakers and "young people who love watching films" with masterclasses, workshops, film screenings from emerging filmmakers and Q&A sessions, all at BFI Southbank in London. The festival is not just for filmmakers. Before the second year of the festival, the BBC's Creative Director, Alan Yentob, said: "It's going to give young people a fantastic opportunity to get involved in something creative and possibly life-changing. Who knows, we may even be able to spot a couple of BAFTA winners of the future." While The Guardian noted that the "festival is aimed at nurturing young film-makers, and there's plenty for them to be inspired by". Later, in 2017, the BFI Film Academy alumni and the Future Film Lab Award winner Charlotte Regan's short film "Standby" was nominated for BAFTAIn 2017, the festival's panel included producer Rebecca O'Brien and cinematographer Ben Davis for the workshop on cinematography and Joe Wicks for Social Media Masterclass. The first screening of the web-series 'Reality' directed by Nathan Bryon was also during the festival.The festival is part of a wider BFI Future Film program which also include a number of other different events aiming to support and help young filmmakers to learn more about the industry: BFI Future Film Academy Future Film Labs Free Screenings + Q&A sessions Future Film Recommends screenings

Royal National Theatre
Royal National Theatre

The Royal National Theatre in London, commonly known as the National Theatre (NT), is one of the United Kingdom's three most prominent publicly funded performing arts venues, alongside the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal Opera House. Internationally, it is known as the National Theatre of Great Britain.Founded by Laurence Olivier in 1963, many well-known actors have performed at the National Theatre. Until 1976, the company was based at The Old Vic theatre in Waterloo. The current building is located next to the Thames in the South Bank area of central London. In addition to performances at the National Theatre building, the National Theatre tours productions at theatres across the United Kingdom. The theatre has transferred numerous productions to Broadway and toured some as far as China, Australia and New Zealand. However, touring productions to European cities was suspended in February 2021 over concerns about uncertainty over work permits, additional costs and delays because of Brexit. Permission to add the "Royal" prefix to the name of the theatre was given in 1988, but the full title is rarely used. The theatre presents a varied programme, including Shakespeare, other international classic drama, and new plays by contemporary playwrights. Each auditorium in the theatre can run up to three shows in repertoire, thus further widening the number of plays which can be put on during any one season. In June 2009, the theatre began National Theatre Live (NT Live), a programme of simulcasts of live productions to cinemas, first in the United Kingdom and then internationally. The programme began with a production of Phèdre, starring Helen Mirren, which was screened live in 70 cinemas across the UK. NT Live productions have since been broadcast to over 2,500 venues in 60 countries around the world. In November 2020, National Theatre at Home was announced. It is a video on demand streaming service, specifically created for National Theatre Live recordings. Videos of plays are added every month, and can be "rented" for temporary viewing, or unlimited recordings can be watched through a monthly or yearly subscription programme.The NT had an annual turnover of approximately £105 million in 2015–16, of which earned income made up 75% (58% from ticket sales, 5% from NT Live and Digital, and 12% from commercial revenue such as in the restaurants, bars, bookshop, etc.). Support from Arts Council England provided 17% of income, 1% from Learning and Participation activity, and the remaining 9% came from a mixture of companies, individuals, trusts and foundations.
