Funding for Individuals

Film London Film-makers' Festival Fund (FFF)
Film London's Film-makers' Festival Fund (FFF) aims to support the development of individual film-makers' and moving image artists' careers, by providing travel grants for attendance at a small number of overseas festivals where short films have been selected and are in competition.

In a limited number of festivals where short films are in competition, contributions are also available towards the costs of striking a first film print/ or production of digital masters where required by the festival for screenings.

This fund is currently closed. For further information and to see a list of qualifying festivals please visit the Film-makers' Festival Fund page.

Find out more about the fund on our *NEW* Case Studies page.


Other support for travel to film festivals worldwide:
