 The UK Film Council's New Cinema Fund (NCF) is now inviting individual
filmmakers and production companies to apply to the 2006/07
Completion Fund. The fund is part of the New Cinemas Fund's programme
to enable directors and producers to push their creative boundaries,
develop new talent and to invest in short films that illustrate unique
ideas and an innovative approach.
This is a £50,000 fund to support short films that have already been
shot but lack the funds to finish. You can now apply to this fund and
the closing date for entries will be Friday 17 November
2006.
Maya Vision International is the managing company responsible for
short-listing and selecting the films in consultation with the NCF and
will oversee all aspects of the completion process to contractual and
physical delivery. Maya Vision International has produced a
diverse range of dramas, documentaries, short films and feature films
since it was formed in 1983, and has always been committed to
supporting and nurturing emerging filmmakers across a variety of
genres.
Eligibility You can apply for funding from the Completion Fund if:
• you are an individual aged 18 years and over and a national or
resident of the UK or you are a company registered and centrally
managed in the UK; and
• you have made a short film which requires completion funding and which:
• will have a final running time of less than 12 minutes (exceptionally
'short' films of longer duration may be considered); and
1. has been edited to a rough-cut or beyond and is available for viewing on DVD (or VHS); and
2. has main elements (e.g. producer, writer, director, location, story) which are substantially British in nature; and
3. when completed will be capable of being fully cleared for cinema,
television, internet and festival exhibition throughout the
world.
The Completion Fund is for genuine completion of a short film. It is
not a 'print' fund and applications to transfer a finished film
from one format to another format for the purposes of exhibition are
not eligible for funding and will not be assessed.
