The Film Exhibition Fund is intended to support FHM Members to reach new and diverse audiences for British, independent and international films and broader screen experiences in their local communities in line with one or more of the BFI and FAN priority outcomes.
Activity supported by The Film Exhibition Fund can vary in length, scale and format - all delivery, however, should take place between April 2025 and early March 2026. The fund is open to the entire range of members of Film Hub Midlands. Support can cover programming, marketing, audience development, accessibility and associated screening costs.
Members can apply for £2,000 - £10,000 per year to support audience facing screening projects. Please note that projects seeking the maximum sum will be expected to respond most strongly to these guidelines.
This fund has been made available thanks to BFI National Lottery as part of the BFI’s Screen Culture 2033 strategy.
