About This Opportunity

The Film Development and Production Fund exists to offer development and production funding for feature length films and documentaries being made by filmmakers based in Scotland. This fund can support Single Project Development Funding for initial development costs of a single feature film or documentary project, as well as Film Production Funding for production costs. The aim of this funding is to support filmmakers who are working in live-action, animation and documentary, to develop a range of feature film projects across all genres that reflect Scotland's culture, creativity and diversity. The fund supports projects with international appeal that have the potential to be distinctive, high-quality and commercially and/or creatively-driven, as well as projects that enable artists and filmmakers to take risks creatively. As part of a two-year pilot, the BFI Diversity Standards are part of the eligibility criteria for all applications to ensure a more representative and inclusive Scottish film industry.
