Eastern Edge Film Fund
What is the film fund?
Recognising the importance of supporting emerging
talent, as well as actively encouraging film-making and film
activity in local communities, Film London launched the London Borough Film
Fund Challenge (LBFFC) in 2006.
How does it work in Redbridge?
Within Redbridge, the scheme is run and
funded by the London Boroughs of Redbridge and Barking &
Dagenham, with Film London providing financial support, dedicated
advice and resources. The fund aims to support emerging and
experienced film-makers living, working or studying in one of the
two boroughs to produce an original short film.
Through it residents can apply for funding towards
the production of a short film.
The deadline for this year's round of funding is Tuesday 15
November - 5 pm, so don't miss out!

Borough Film Fund
Challenge, this is the annual Best of Boroughs Film Awards

Redbridge, Mawaan Rizwan.
