The £7 million UK Global Screen Fund (UKGSF) will target support across the screen sector, including film, TV, documentary, animation and interactive narrative games content.

Financed by the UK government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and administered by the BFI, it will focus on accelerating export growth, boosting revenues to independent UK screen companies and deepening international relationships.

The one-year pilot will allocate funding to three open access strands:

• International Distribution: support for sales and distribution of one or more UK feature films (drama, documentary, animation) in international territories
• Business Development: financial support for business strategies that drive international growth and IP development for companies working in film, TV (animation, drama and documentary) and interactive narrative gaming
• Co-production: support for UK companies to be partners in international productions, sharing IP and revenue on film and TV animation and documentary projects with audience potential.
