This is a short turn around contract where the BFI Mediatheque will close from Monday 19th December 2016 and we require the refit to be complete and approved for public opening by Thursday 30th March 2017. The Retail project is also a short turn around contract with an expected closure period of Wednesday 1st February 2017 to Wednesday 8th February 2017.

Its focus is to promote education about film, television and the moving image. The focus of this refit is to revitalise the existing space to have visual impact and allow anyone to feel confident to be curious, enter, linger and engage with the collections. The ambition is to have inspiring, versatile and friendly spaces to discover moving image. A fun place that will deliver a specialist service for researchers, as well as being a welcoming space for both the casual and first-time user. BFI Film Store The BFI Film Store was launched in 2007 and stocks film and TV-related books, DVDs and gifts to satisfy the general enthusiast, the dedicated student and the developing practitioner.
