Development - BFI National Lottery Filmmaking Fund

The BFI National Lottery Filmmaking Fund invests National Lottery funding in a diverse range of work with creative merit and ambition, which the commercial sector is not able to back entirely, or at all, and would therefore benefit from National Lottery support. Its focus is on developing new, emerging and established talent in front of and behind the camera and encouraging risk in form and narrative approach.

The Fund provides support for development of projects that are unlikely to be commercially or privately financed at an early stage. We aim to award funding to distinctive fiction film projects from adventurous storytellers across a range of genres, approaches and perspectives, which reflect and represent a wide range of voices and backgrounds.
