Exhibition and Education Funding
As part of a new RIFE business plan for 2008 - 2011, Screen Yorkshire will shortly be announcing priorities and opportunities for lottery funding for that period. The next deadline for lottery funding will be 31 May 2008.
Screen Yorkshire provides money through the Lottery Fund for:
Audiences, programming and education
This is aimed mainly at cinemas, festivals, education consortia, archives and the non-theatrical exhibition sector (mobile cinema and film societies). Other organisations with appropriate projects are also welcome to apply.
Through the fund, Screen Yorkshire aims to extend access and opportunities for audiences to experience a diverse range of moving image culture.
Community & youth media projects
This supports projects involving young people and/or under represented or excluded sectors in media or filmmaking projects. The fund gives access to learning opportunities and skills development, allowing young people to express their creativity and raise their aspirations.
Applicants must demonstrate that professionals involved in delivering the project offer relevant experience with regard to both filmmaking and the target groups involved.
