Stuart Croft Award

Now in its third year, the SCF awards are increasing the number of funding opportunities to award five individual projects across three separate categories:

–  Two Moving Image Awards (£5000 each) will provide support for artist filmmakers to produce a significant moving image artwork that develops their practice and research.

–  Two Education Awards (£1000 each) will provide support for current and recent postgraduate students (MA and Doctoral research candidates) to create a moving image artwork that explores specific aspects of their film practice.

–  One Curation Award (£2000) new for 2019, offers support for an independent curator to realise a curatorial project that makes an original contribution to public access and discourse concerning the moving image in its many forms.

Stuart Croft Foundation would like to ensure we are  providing support for activity happening across the UK and will award at least two proposals from applicants based outside of London.

Stuart Croft was an innovative artist whose film practice involved narrative circularity, appropriation and the language of genre cinema. The Stuart Croft Foundation is dedicated to supporting moving image artists and filmmakers to test new ideas and take risks with both form and content.

Launched in March 2017 to support the production and dissemination of new moving image works, the Stuart Croft Foundation scheme has offered three distinct funding awards: the Moving Image Award, the Education Award, and an award that encourages the development of a different aspect concerning moving image each year – a Special Projects Award in 2017, and a Research Award in 2018.

The SCF awards have enabled artists, filmmakers, researchers, and curators working in and between the gallery and the cinema to undertake and complete small-scale projects, where other funding options may be difficult to obtain.
