Film London's Film-makers' Festival Fund (FFF) was launched in 2005 and ran for six years to 2011. It aimed to support the career development of film-makers and moving image artists' by assisting them in promoting themselves and their short film projects at overseas festivals and markets.

During that time, the fund supported over 120 film-makers to attend festivals across the world, including Cannes, Berlin, Sundance, Venice, Rotterdam and Tribeca.
