BFI NETWORK Short Film Fund

Closing Date: Tue 25 March, 11:00 GMT

Producers can apply for between £5,000 and £25,000, for stand alone fiction short films in live action, animation or immersive/virtual reality, that have directors based in England.

Projects can be up to 15 minutes in length and teams must be made up of at least two people across the three creative roles of writer, producer, and director (director-producers are not eligible to apply). 

The fund is intended to stimulate new ideas and stories, so it doesn’t support adaptations of existing material, apart from of the writer’s own previous work. 

BFI NETWORK can only accept applications for projects that are scheduled to start production between 1 October 2025 and 30 June 2026.

Read the guidelines and find out how to apply on BFI NETWORK's website below.
