Question
What Welsh Government support is available for independently run film companies?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
As announced in July 2022, Creative Wales contracts with Ffilm Cymru to deliver £2m of film funding to the Welsh independent film sector. 9 feature films have been approved for funding through this scheme to date with a total projected spend in Wales of over £15 million.
Creative Wales has also recently approved funding for the development of a number of Welsh language feature films through Sinema Cymru, a new partnership between S4C, Creative Wales and Ffilm Cymru. These films will be for theatrical release and the successful projects moving into development will be announced in the coming weeks.
