About
An overview of new and established TV and film production funding in the UK’s nations and regions. 

2026 has seen the launch of new production funds in the English regions, adding to those already available across the UK, and we thought you’d like to meet the people behind them. This session will gather representatives from the West of England Combined Authority, Screen Manchester and Create Central to talk about the new funding available in their regions, and how producers can access it.

Moderated by Samantha Perahia MBE, Head of Production UK, British Film Commission.
