The British Film Institute has launched the fourth edition of the Vision Awards, its financial support program for UK producers. The initiative will once again award up to $3.2m (£2.5m) in funding …
is also launching a new professional development program that will support up to 12 new and emerging producers who are yet to make their first feature, called BFI NETWORK INSIGHT.
The initiative is seeking talent who have a strong track record of short form work, and will be a nine-month practical program that will look to arm producers with the tools to navigate the full life cycle of getting a feature off the ground. It will culminate in a trip to the European Film Market in Berlin in 2021, supported by the BFI’s International Fund.This year’s Vision Awardees will also benefit from key elements of the INSIGHT programme, including two international-focused modules.
The previous three editions of the Vision Awards, first launched in 2008, have supported a total of 56 companies/producers to date. “We are incredibly proud of the many successes of previous Vision Awards producers and the contribution they are making to a more diverse film culture. We’ve consulted widely on where the greatest value of the Vision Awards lies, and we are now launching two distinct, but complimentary programmes to support producers early in their careers.
