Audience Development: Film Heritage

Acknowledging the gaps identified in film heritage coverage in the region, the Film Heritage fund aims to find locations in the region for the presentation and storage of archived film (and accompanying educational programmes), or a centralised Northwest location. Applications can be made jointly with other organisations.

Awards will be made between £5,000 and £40,000. This support should be seen as funding that can be used to lever additional funding from other sources.

To be eligible companies must:

· Be a legally constituted organisation with a written constitution or set of rules.
· Operate from within the Northwest region of England (Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside).
· Have the necessary experience and track record to deliver projects that meet Vision and Media's objectives for this fund (see guidelines).
· Be able to secure a minimum of 30% match funding. (This only applies to projects which commence after 1st April 2008 and end by 31st March 2009.)
