Digital Film Archive Fund

The Digital Archive Fund is a UK Film Council lottery fund set up to increase public access to regional screen heritage.

This region has £276,000 available to award over two years from 2008 – 2010 to support innovative programmes ensuring wider access to the UK's screen heritage. Used strategically, the money will ensure that access to screen heritage is provided to as many people as possible through a variety of platforms (i.e. through screenings, festivals, online, and public spaces).

The Fund aligns with the vision of the Strategy for UK Screen Heritage that the public is entitled to access, learn about and enjoy its rich screen heritage wherever they live and wherever materials are held; for more detailed information please visit www.bfi.org.uk/screenheritage.
