BFI National Lottery Sustainable Screen

The BFI describes this fund as one that "supports award recipients and wider industry to minimise the environmental impact of filmmaking and positively support the sector towards achieving net zero carbon emissions."

The page describes two strands: "development and production – supporting BFI award recipients across film, television, and emerging formats to embed sustainable practice"; and "beyond production – supporting BFI award recipients delivering activity across exhibition, distribution, screen heritage, skills, education, research, and international projects."

On timing, the page states: "Applications are now closed for this fund," and that awards "are expected to be made in March 2026." Further funding guidelines are published at https://www.bfi.org.uk/get-funding-support/applying-bfi-national-lottery-sustainable-screen-funding.
