Applications are now open for the FLAMIN Fellowship, a “major development programme” for early-career artist filmmakers living in England.
“Specifically targeting the most exciting and innovative artists working with moving image, the Fellowship offers six artists a £2,500 development bursary as well as a bespoke series of workshops geared towards helping early-career artist filmmakers develop their artistic practice and successfully navigate areas such as selling work, copyright, writing, funding, festival strategies and sound design,” Film London explained.
FLAMIN Fellowship alumni have had their work exhibited at the Venice Biennale, New Contemporaries, MoMA Ps1 and Studio Voltaire, and been the recipient of the Aesthetica Art Prize, the CIRCA X Dazed Prize and the Film London Jarman Award.
Most recently, FLAMIN Fellowship awardee Graeme Arnfield’s second feature, The Case Against Space, served as the closing night film of Open City Documentary Festival at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts.
FLAMIN Fellows get to learn from invited guest speakers which have recently included leading artists Maeve Brennan, Onyeka Igwe, Rachel Maclean, Hetain Patel, Imran Perretta, Heather Phillipson, Marianna Simnett, Michelle Williams Gamaker and Jenkin Van Zyl.
Adrian Wootton OBE, chief executive of Film London, said: “Now celebrating its ninth edition, the FLAMIN Fellowship serves as a vital pathway for some of the country’s most exciting artist filmmakers.
“Not only does it provide that ever-vital – and increasingly scarce – development funding, but the programme of support from artists and experts has been specifically designed to help practitioners take their practice to the next level by helping them develop the skills they need to navigate the intersecting worlds of contemporary art and film.”
The deadline for applications is 1 June 2026 – applications are open on the Film London website.
