National Lottery Film Festival and Screening Programme Fund
Created: 07/11/2024
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
The National Lottery Film Festival & Screening Programme Fund supports organisations that are looking to produce film festivals and screening programmes in Scotland for a public audience.
Activities supported by the fund should increase the reach, impact and diversity of film screenings and events for communities throughout Scotland and meet Screen Scotland’s Audience Development priorities.
Activities should also increase engagement within audience groups that are currently underrepresented in cinema audiences.
Although this fund is primarily for in-person events, they recognise that some activity may also take place on digital platforms when this is the best way to reach specific audiences that are a priority for the fund.
Who can apply?
This fund is open to new and existing organisations based in Scotland and producing film festivals and/or curated screening programmes for audiences in Scotland which meet the aims and criteria of this fund.
All physical, in-person screenings and activity supported directly by this fund must be presented to audiences in Scotland. This restriction does not apply if digital activity features as part of your plans, however Scottish audiences should be the primary focus.
New festivals or exhibitors, and organisation who aren’t currently film exhibition organisations but are considering the delivery of a film festival or screening programme, are encouraged to contact us to discuss your project before applying so that we can help with the process.
Only festivals and screening programmes taking place wholly before 31 August 2025, are eligible to apply.
How much can I apply for?
This fund is supported by the National Lottery, and they expect to do individual awards in the region of £10,000 to £40,000 per year. If your project budget is likely to be significantly outside this range, please contact the Enquiries Service to discuss your application.
If you are looking for less than £10,000, please consider the funding opportunities offered by Film Hub Scotland.
