We're delighted to support ten new projects in the Midlands, who are crucial to the fabric of our independent sector.
Supported by National Lottery funding, The BFI FAN Film Exhibition Fund aims to support cinemas, arts centres, festivals and community groups looking to deliver a broad range of cultural programming and reconnect with audiences.
The Film Exhibition Fund will reopen for support in Spring 2022.
