The purpose of the award is to support individual professional artists in the field of experimental and non-narrative film-making. The award emphasises the value and benefit to an artist’s development derived from an extended process of engagement with their practice at any stage of their career. The award therefore provides artists with the time and resources to think, research, reflect, and engage with their arts practice.

Applications for Film Bursary Award must be made directly to the Arts Council before 17:30 on Thursday, 30 July 2020.
