THe British SHOrt Film awards - film fund

Helping fund British short films

Each year we will open applications to British filmmakers who are seeking funding for their short films. These short films need to be in preproduction and have a good plan of how the film will be made.

We will be awarding funding between £1,000 and £5,000 to multiple British productions. 

Applications open on January 1st 2022 and close March 31st 2022.

Our aim will be, to provide not only financial assistance to filmmakers, but also to give them access to a network of top industry professionals from whom they can seek advice to help improve their production

Films that secure funding will also be awarded free entry to all applicable categories at that years British Short Film Awards.

SUBMISSIONS HAVE NOW CLOSED FOR 2022
