FLAMIN Productions Grant

Deadline: March 31, 2025

Submission Fee: Free

Eligibility: Applicants who have been making moving image work and practicing professionally within the art world for over five years since graduation or equivalent. (Applicants do not need to have engaged in higher education to be eligible for the programme). Applicants with a track record of producing moving image work that has been exhibited or distributed and reached significant audiences. Applicants whose main address is in England. Applicants cannot be students at the time of applying and not intending to be students during the development and production period (including full-time and part-time education and PhD research). Projects must be at concept stage or in development (the fund is not suitable for production-ready projects or projects part-way through production). Note: FLAMIN Productions supports visual artists, who have chosen film as their medium, to make new moving image artworks. Though these creative works may be shown in a variety of contexts, including cinemas, the scheme does not support mainstream or genre-led film-making. Film London delivers other commissioning and support schemes for feature film and short film and these may be more appropriate for some projects. Please speak to the FLAMIN Team for advice on eligibility.

In 2025, FLAMIN Productions will be investing production funding through an award of £40,000 for one project.
