Since April 2000 Scottish Screen has assumed responsibility for the distribution of Lottery funds allocated for film production in Scotland. Scottish Screen also oversees all aspects of film production in Scotland and manages several film schemes with partnership funding from broadcasters. Some Lottery funded schemes are still distributed by the Scottish Arts Council.
Decisions for funding up to a maximum of £500,000 are made quarterly by the Scottish Screen Lottery Panel, with smaller applications requiring up to £25,000 being considered monthly by a committee of Scottish Screen Officers and the Chair of the Lottery Panel.
Funding schemes available cover feature and short film production and the development of a single projects or a slate of projects from a production company.
Funding and Support
Feature Film Production:
Funding is available up to £500,000 for feature length fiction, documentary and animation films aimed at cinema distribution. Under the Twenty First Films scheme funding is also available for imaginative and challenging low-budget features to be produced on a total budget of up to £600,000.
Projects must have strong Scottish elements and be capable of reaching an audience beyond Scotland. Distributor interest in a project is required, particularly in the UK theatrical market, as are estimates of international sales potential from a sales agent. The more advanced a project is and the higher the percentage of partnership funding the more likely a project is to gain backing.
Generally funding will not exceed 25% of a project's total budget, or 75% in the case of Twenty First Films, and producers are required to source partnership funding. This may be "in kind" funding, but at least half of the partnership funding must be in cash. Lottery funding from other sources can be brought in up to a half of the total budget, but will not count as partnership funding. Funding is made by way of investment and is expected to be recouped pari passu and pro rata with other equity investors.
Short Film Production
Funds are available for fiction, documentary and animated short films with contributions towards up to half of a project's budget. Partnership funding may be "in kind" funding, but at least half of the partnership funding must be in cash. Lottery funding from other sources can be brought in up to a half of the total budget, but will not count as partnership funding. Applications for short film production of under £25,000 are considered monthly by Scottish Screen officers and over £25,000 quarterly by the full Lottery panel.
Projects must have strong Scottish elements and be capable of reaching an audience beyond Scotland.
Short Film Awards Scheme
Scottish Screen also administers Lottery funds for distribution to other film organisations operating short film production schemes. Awards of between [£20,000 and £75,000] per production is available towards half of each budget. [The current recipient of the Short Film Award is the Cineworks initiate operated by Glasgow Media Access
Tartan Shorts
Each year Scottish Screen and BBC Scotland jointly produce three short films with additional support from the Scottish Arts Council National Lottery Fund. Up to £60,000 is awarded to produce 35mm shorts of approximately 15 minutes duration aimed at cinema exhibition and broadcast by the BBC.
New Found Land
Operated by Scottish Screen, Scottish Television and Grammarian Television with additional support from the Lottery, New Found Land is a new television production scheme commissioning half hour drama projects for production. Programming is not themed, and applicants are encouraged to be as ambitious and innovative as imaginations and budget limits permit.
The Go & See Fund
Scottish Screen can provide non-production related support under this scheme by providing travel grants for individuals to attend events, festivals and conferences or take part in exchanges or structured meetings with other professionals. The total fund is £5,000 a year, with awards of up to £500 granted towards up to half of travel costs.
Distribution & Exploitation Support
Utilising Lottery funds a contribution of up to half a film's theatrical Print and Advertising budget can be made to enable a film with core Scottish elements increase its presence in Scotland, the UK and internationally.
