Deadline: Ongoing
The British Council, supported by BFI Network, is offering short filmmakers and filmmakers producing virtual reality/immersive storytelling experiences and installations the opportunity to apply for funding to attend premier international film festivals and events where their work has been invited to screen.
The purpose of this funding is to enable filmmakers to represent their work abroad, develop new contact networks, reach new audiences and increase the exposure of new UK film and film talent internationally.
Funding Information
- Awards will range from a minimum of £100 to a maximum of £1500, but will not normally be in excess of £750.
- Successful applicants screening in European festivals can expect a smaller grant than those screening in festivals which require a long-haul journey. Grants are often a contribution towards travel costs, and do not always cover the full cost of attendance.
- Grants can be used to cover travel and accommodation costs.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications can be made by a project’s director, producer or writer, who must be aged 18 or above.
- All applicants must have had their short film/project selected by at least one of the festivals on the British Council’s Key Festivals List, and must provide evidence of festival selection.
- The film or project must be a UK production/co-production.
- The film or project must be no more than 60 minutes long.
- Each film or project can receive a maximum of three grants.
- Each film or project can receive a maximum of one grant per festival.
