Production funding
We welcome production applications from new and established filmmakers. Priority will be given to projects and filmmaking teams that demonstrate a bold vision and creative excellence, and that are unlikely to be fully financed by the marketplace. Please ensure that you have read our funding priorities before you apply to this fund.
Covid-19 response
Although the vast majority of production in the UK is currently on hold, the BFI Production Fund is continuing to accept, assess and make decisions on applications for Production Funding to give producers confidence that funds will be available, and allow them to work towards commencing production as and when possible. We are also continuing to support existing BFI funded projects that had to stand down during this period — working closely with the teams to ensure production is able to restart at an appropriate point in the future — and those projects currently in post-production which are continuing work where possible, in accordance with Government guidance.
Through a new BFI Film Continuation Fund we will be making up to £2m available to independent UK productions interrupted by COVID-19 to help cover unexpected additional production costs, to ensure productions are in the best position to resume production when practical. Further details will be announced later in April.
Guidelines
Please read the funding guidelines before you complete the application form and ensure that you attach the full script with your application.
