BFI Exhibition and Distribution Funding

The BFI provides funding to help film exhibitors and distributors show bold films to diverse audiences across the UK. This grant supports activities that bring films to wider audiences through cinema screenings and distribution. You can use the money for exhibition and distribution activities that reach new or underserved communities. The funding is available on a rolling basis with no set deadline. You need to be a film exhibitor or distributor to apply. The grant focuses on supporting bold, diverse filmmaking that might not otherwise reach mainstream audiences.

This grant is for film exhibitors and distributors operating in England. You should apply if you want to show bold or diverse films to wider audiences. It is not for filmmakers or production companies.
