BFI Short Film Funding Reopens to Applications (England)

Grants of up to £15,000 are available to directors based in England to support the production costs of 15-minute short fiction films, in both live-action and animation.

The BFI Network Short Film Fund is intended to stimulate new ideas and stories from directors who haven’t yet directed a fiction feature film that has received UK distribution, and will support standalone projects including those that have the potential to be developed into other forms or formats (e.g., a feature film, content in serial form, etc).

The fund is run in partnership with the BFI Network Talent Executives who will work with filmmakers on the delivery of funded projects.

The next application window will open on the 20th August 2021 and will close on the 1st October 2021.
