Screen Scotland - Film Festival Fund
Created: 12/05/2025
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
The National Lottery Film Festival and 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:
- Scotland has a diverse screen culture, showcasing the best contemporary and heritage films from Scotland and around the world, raising up new or unheard voices
- Communities across Scotland have access to shared spaces with meaningful, relevant, and enjoyable opportunities to engage in screen culture
- Scotland’s venues, festivals and platforms are sustainable - financially and environmentally - and are positive places to visit and to work within
This fund is project funding, not core organisational funding. However, they encourage using the fund to cover core costs that directly relate to the delivery of your project and development of your team and organisation during the project dates. They encourage you to secure additional funding from other sources, such as sponsors, partners, charities, private or other public funding, to help deliver and expand your programme. Applicants may apply for personal access costs for the project team in line with Creative Scotland’s guidelines.
This fund will support activity happening between 01 September 2025 and 31 August 2026, and for up to 31 August for applications for Development Funding.
Who can apply?
This fund is open to organisations based in Scotland that will produce film festivals and/or curated screening programmes for public audiences in Scotland and meet the aims and eligibility criteria of this fund. Priority will be given to projects that support workforce and audience development priorities related to their focus areas.
How to apply
Application forms are available via the Screen Scotland website.
The closing date for applications is Friday 19 September 2025.
