Film Hub North relaunches grant funding awards for exhibitors

New funding support is available to people working in the exhibition sector, for one-off screenings, special events and professional development - both in-person and online.

After redirecting the bulk of their National Lottery funding to sector relief efforts since March 2020, Film Hub North have now relaunched their Propeller Awards micro-grant scheme and Bursary Awards support for professional development.

These relaunched schemes will continue to help the North's exhibition sector as it works to re-engage audiences with cultural cinema. They have made some key changes to ensure the funds are fit for purpose and reflect new ways of working within the sector.

Their overall aims remain the same: to support exhibitors to deliver culturally valuable, inclusive film events, and to provide them with the skills to do so. Find out more about the awards options below...
