UK Global Screen Fund

What it funds

The British Film Institute funds international co-productions through the UK Global Screen Fund, with non-recoupable grants of up to £300,000 for independent UK producers with demonstrable production experience. The funder lists a total pot of £1 million. The scheme is national. Two project types qualify. Feature films, including animation and documentary, in any genre and language, where the UK producer is a minority co-producing partner. Television projects in animation or documentary only, in any language. Television projects need at least two broadcasters in the finance plan for minority UK co-productions, or three for majority UK co-productions. Projects must show strong export potential and international audience reach. They must show potential to generate revenues for the UK producer. They need at least 60% of overall finance secured, or 80% for Fast Track applications, not counting the amount applied for or UK tax relief. They also need one other source of UK funding secured.
