Short Film Completion Fund 2008/09
The UK Film Council's Short Film Completion Fund provides finance and support for short films that show outstanding potential but lack the funds to finish.
A fund of £70,000 has been made available to support projects across the Fund's two calls in 2008/09. The fund is part of the New Cinema Fund's programme to enable directors and producers to push their creative boundaries, develop new talent and to invest in short films that illustrate unique ideas and an innovative approach.
Call for applications:
There will be two invitations for applications during 2008/09, and up to 14 films may be offered funding. The first selection of projects will receive approximately £35,000 distributed across around seven films, although this may vary depending on the quality of the applications.
The two calls for applications will be as follows:
- Monday 5th January 2009 – Closing date for 1st call for applications
- June 2009 – 1st call selected films to be delivered and premiered
- March 2009 – Closing date for 2nd call for applications
- November 2009 – 2nd call selected films to be delivered and premiered.
