Funding to Boost Welsh Language Films with International Potential (Wales)
Applications are now being accepted for funding to support independent Welsh language feature films with international big-screen appeal.
Sinema Cymru, a collaboration between S4C, Ffilm Cymru Wales, and the Welsh Government through Creative Wales, aims to develop bold, unconventional feature films which have the potential for international cinema release. At least one of these will be selected for production.
There are two levels of support available:
- Large awards – up to £30,000 for projects that could be ready for production within 12 months of the development period
- Small awards - up to £10,000 available for earlier stage projects
A bespoke package of support, including mentoring, is also provided.
This year, emerging filmmakers are particularly encouraged to apply, alongside established talent.
The deadline for applications is the 16th June 2025.
