Grants
Towards Audio Visual Activities in the UK |
 |
Film Festivals
|
|
Under
the Film Festivals Abroad Support Programme,
grants are provided to cover part of
the cost of international film festivals,
art festivals and screenings of special
series of Japanese films held in the
UK. The grants can be used to cover
costs including film shipping fees.
The deadline for applications is once
a year in December and you should contact
Junko
Takekawa, Senior Arts Programme
Officer, to discuss your project before
you apply, as this programme is not
open to general application.
Alternatively you may be able to apply
throughout the year to our Local Project
Support Programme for a small grant.
The grant is available for those projects,
that either miss the annual December
deadline or whose cost items are not
covered by our main grant programme.
Again, please contact Junko
Takekawa for details.

The Japan
Foundation holds a stock of Japanese films (35mm or 16mm) with English subtitles
in Tokyo for loan (subject to availability).
In order for us to release films for
loan, you need to produce the loan agreement
made with the relevant distributors,
which shows the permission for screenings.
Please note that we are generally reluctant
to cover any of the costs of film loan.
You will be expected to pay all the
necessary shipping costs for the films
as well as agreed loan fees to the distributors.
For details and further assistance,
please contact Junko
Takekawa.
