About

The UK Global Screen Fund’s budget recently increased from £7m to over £18m per year and in this session you can hear from the team about the expanded offer.  

The BFI has been building on the successful interventions made since the UKGSF launched in 2021 to boost international development, production, distribution, and promotional opportunities for the UK’s independent screen sector across film, TV, animation, documentary and games.  

This session will outline the full range of support available to encourage international collaboration and growth. From the existing funds, such as minority co-production, distribution and international business development to the new initiatives including film sales minimum guarantee, slate development, video games release and majority co-production, find out more about what's on offer and how to engage.
