    Online

BFI NETWORK South West are hosting an animation focused online roundtable, open to South West based writers, directors and producers who have an animated short film idea they want to make and are considering applying for BFI NETWORK Short Film Funding. Hosted by our regional Talent Executives, this informal roundtable session will be in a small group setting with a maximum of 15 filmmakers.

We will ask each participant to introduce themselves and their current animation project. The Talent Executives will talk through BFI NETWORK Short Film Funding, the eligibility criteria, application process and what makes a short animated film idea stand-out.  

You will have the opportunity to ask the Talent Executives any questions you have about BFI NETWORK Short Film Funding as well as meeting possible future collaborators. 

BFI NETWORK Short Film Funding is open from application from 31st August – 27th September 2021, we fund short animation and live-action films, up to 15 minutes in length and cover production costs up to £15,000. Find out more on the funding on the BFI NETWORK website here.
