Film London and Arts Council England present FLAMIN Productions, a major opportunity for London's artist film-makers. Part of the already well established and successful Film London Artists' Moving Image Network, FLAMIN Productions will not only provide production finance, but also a professional developmental programme and bespoke mentoring.

FLAMIN Productions commissions new, single screen works which represent a significant leap in artists' careers. Developed to reflect the changes in artists' moving image practice, it aims to attract the capital's most innovative moving image artists and is underpinned with an open application process.

The scheme is for work that is ambitious in premise and duration (20 minutes+), with an emphasis on projects that have strong potential to reach audiences via galleries, broadcast, cinema or digital platforms. FLAMIN Productions is about more than simply producing work; it supports artists to reach the next stage in their career.
 
This year up to 15 projects will be shortlisted and invited to develop their ideas into full production proposals. To assist with this FLAMIN offers access to a development programme, which includes a development bursary of £1,000 per project, and access to specialist expertise.

Following this, two to five works will be commissioned for production with awards between £20,000 to £50,000 each. Projects selected for production need to be completed by December 2011.

The deadline for applications has now passed.

More information about the scheme can be found via the FLAMIN website.
