Encouragement for Younger Members

CEMRIAC is proud of its regional policy to assist and encourage younger film makers. The main elements are:

  • Special grants available to assist productions which are too small to attract funding under the normal Lottery/Arts Council/Government schemes.
  • For larger projects, information available on external funding schemes.
  • IAC junior, youth and school members to be referred to within the region as Students.
  • A trophy in the CEMRIAC regional film festival for the best student entry.
  • Closer links with universities and other higher education establishments in the Midlands.
  • An appraisal service for the work of younger members.

For full detail of the new policy contact David Newman (email)
