Film Exhibition Fund

The BFI FAN Film Exhibition Fund supports Film Hub Scotland members to reach new and diverse audiences. As part of the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN), Film Hub Scotland awards funding on behalf of Screen Scotland and the BFI National Lottery to support audience-facing screening activity that helps audiences across Scotland access and enjoy a broad range of films, regardless of geography or circumstance. Film Hub Scotland Members can apply for £2,000 – £10,000 to support audience-facing screening projects that meet BFI FAN's priority outcomes. Support can cover programming, marketing, audience development, accessibility and associated screening costs. The fund will support activity taking place from May 2025 – January 2026. Applications should outline how projects will address one or more priority areas outlined in BFI's Screen Culture 2033 strategy, including: engaging with children and young people, accessing a wider choice of film, tackling social, economic and geographic barriers, and engaging with heritage collections that reflect the diversity of the UK.
