Film Production Fund

The Lewisham Film Initiative Production Fund was launched in early October 2005. It is open to all filmmakers who live, work or study full time in the Borough of Lewisham. Grants of up to £2000 will be awarded to filmmakers to make or exhibit new work. Applications will be judged by an experienced panel of media professionals.

The Third LFI Production Fund is now open for applications. In memory of the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery, and, closer to home, the 25th anniversary of the tragedy of the New Cross Fire, the July to September fund will be dedicated to Black History Month in collaboration with The Community Channel.
