Closed award schemes

We have two award schemes that are currently running but closed to applications.

Our three-year Rural Cinema Pilot Scheme runs until 2013. It’s given audiences in rural Shropshire, Wiltshire and North Yorkshire high quality digital cinema equipment so they can enjoy a modern cinema experience, including live satellite events and 3D films.

The Digital Screen Network launched in 2007 and equipped 240 screens in 210 cinemas across the UK with digital projection technology to give audiences much greater choice. The scheme is ending in August 2012.

Rural Cinema Pilot Scheme

We’re trialling a new way of bringing cinema to more people in rural areas.

Digital Screen Network

The average Hollywood blockbuster opens on 300+ UK screens – but most independent films, restored classics, documentaries and foreign language films struggle to reach 30.

Digital innovation in distribution

A pilot scheme to help film rights holders apply for funding for innovative, long-lead digital promotion campaigns.
