Investment
IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY
Scottish Screen invests around £6m in the development and promotion of Scotland's screen industries each year. This includes distributing £2.6m of National Lottery funds. We invest in a range of initiatives, projects and activities designed to develop talent, audiences and businesses across the country.
Scottish Screen is delighted to launch a number of new funds and other improvements to its Investment Guidelines for 2009/10.
There are six funds available designed to create opportunities for talent, businesses and audiences to develop and grow.
New forms of assistance available within these funds include:
- Support to attend industry conferences, seminars and events (through the Opportunities Fund)
- Support for companies offering Career Development programmes in Scotland (through the Talent Development Fund)
