Introducing the UK Global Screen Fund

The UK’s new Global Screen Fund is a £7m fund to support the UK independent screen sector’s international development, distribution and co-production opportunities. The fund, now in a one year pilot, will support film, TV, documentary, animation and interactive narrative games content. This informative session will explain more about the fund -- who is eligible (including international partners), how and when to apply for the three strands of funding, and practical advice from one of the fund’s first successful funding recipients. This session will also preview new audience perception research focusing on key international territories, as well as introducing research into a new data hub to support UK companies to grow internationally.
