Film London and Arts Council England present The FLAMIN Fellowship, a major development programme for early-career artist filmmakers living in England. Part of Film London Artists’ Moving Image Network (FLAMIN), the Fellowship aims to support the most exciting, innovative and challenging moving image practices from filmmakers at the early stages of their careers, with development and funding for new work.

The FLAMIN Fellowship offers a unique opportunity in developing professional artistic practice with a series of monthly workshops, which cover key areas including selling artwork, film festival strategy, writing funding applications, archiving your work, sound design, insurance, copyright and sustaining a practice. Previous workshop speakers have included artists Larry Achiampong, Graeme Arnfield, Maeve Brennan, Jasmina Cibic, Billy Dosanjh, Onyeka Igwe, Esther Johnson, Rachel Maclean, Daria Martin, Noor Afshan Mirza & Brad Butler, Hetain Patel, Imran Perretta, Heather Phillipson, Marianna Simnett, Michelle Williams Gamaker, Joseph Wilson and Jenkin Van Zyl. The programme has also had guest speakers from organisations including ACME Studios, a-n, Arts Council England, Artquest, Auguste Orts, Auto Italia, Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, BFI, BFI Doc Society, British Council, CPH:DOX, DACS, Film and Video Umbrella, Forma, Jerwood Arts, Julia Stoschek Collection, LUX, not/nowhere, Nottingham Contemporary, Sadie Coles HQ, Somerset House Studios, South London Gallery, Tate, Thomas Dane Gallery, Vdrome and the Wellcome Trust.
