Film London's Film-makers' Festival Fund (FFF) is open to applications.

FFF aims to support the development of individual film-makers' and moving image artists' careers, by providing travel grants (up to £250) for attendance at a small number of overseas festivals where films have been selected and are in competition.

The fund can also offer financial contributions (up to £500) towards the cost of striking a first film print or production of digital masters where required by the festival for screening, in a limited number of festivals where films are in competition.

The scheme can support: the cost of travel to overseas festivals where a short film has been selected and is in competition; contribution towards production costs of a film print where required by a festival for screening; or contribution towards the production costs of digital masters where required by a festival for screening.

Applicants must live in the Film London region and be either the director or producer of a film that is in competition in the list of qualifying festivals.

Deadlines for application take place on a monthly basis, as follows: 11 January 2008 and 15 February 2008.

Artist film-makers previously supported through the scheme include Sarah Pucill, Michael Maziere, David Austen, Osbert Parker, Ben Rivers and Stephen Connolly.
