The Film and TV Charity is accepting applications for the Sir Horace Ove Grant to support Black and Global Majority people working behind the scenes in film, TV, and cinema to access opportunity and navigate barriers to career progression.
Funding Information
- The maximum individual grant under the new scheme will be capped at £500 and grants will be awarded to support access to opportunities leading to paid work or to improving the chance of being offered paid work.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible to apply, you must meet the following criteria:
- You will have been in paid or funded film and TV industry work in a behind-the-camera role for at least 40 days in the last 18 months or have worked at least two years in film and TV in the last 10 years and are seeking funding to return to work after a career break. You will have worked on content made in Britain and shown to British audiences on subscription-based streaming sites like Netflix, TV or cinemas.
- The grant is open to anyone currently working in UK film, TV and professional cinema services, or who have at least two years of recent professional experience and identify as being Black and Global Majority.
- The grant will enable you to seize a potentially transformative work opportunity and will have a demonstratable positive impact on your career or finances.
- The awards will be prioritised to those who are experiencing the greatest need and have the least financial resilience. You will have no recourse to income, accessible savings or statutory funding to cover the cost.
- You must identify as Black or Global Majority. This refers to people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, or have been racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’.
