The Film Festival and Screening Programme Fund supports organisations that produce film festivals and screening programmes that increase the reach, depth, and diversity of screen culture for audiences in Scotland.

The fund aims to help organisations to do this in a viable, sustainable, representative, and high-quality fashion, with meaningful impacts and the involvement of the communities they reach.

The fund will:

• fund festival and screening activity that is distinctive, high-quality, and valued by the communities it reaches
• increase the reach of and access to festivals for under-represented communities, both geographic and demographic
• support organisations to develop in a viable, sustainable fashion

The total budget for this fund is £600,000. Individual awards are likely to be between £10,000 and £60,000.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the fund closes. The fund will close on Tuesday 29 November 2022, or when the budget is allocated (whichever is sooner).

It is recommend that all applicants apply at least 5 months before their activity is due to begin. After Monday 23 May 2022, this will become an essential requirement
