Are you a Welsh documentary maker, aspiring to create your first industry-funded short film? Or perhaps you have some experience in factual, or in another creative field, and would like to cross over into cinematic documentaries?

Join Ffilm Cymru and BFI NETWORK Wales to find out more about our Beacons Short Film Fund, which is currently open for applications.

Beacons is run in partnership with BBC Wales. It provides funding as well as creative and practical support, training and mentoring opportunities to help filmmakers advance their careers. Short films produced through the scheme have achieved success at festivals, won numerous awards, been broadcast on BBC Wales and released on iPlayer.

During this free online event you will have the opportunity to connect informally with the BFI NETWORK Wales team and with other documentary filmmakers. We will be happy to answer your questions about Beacons and give strategic guidance on making an application.

About Us

Ffilm Cymru is the development agency for Welsh film. We are a national delivery partner of BFI NETWORK, which through National Lottery funding brings together film agencies from across the UK to discover, develop and fund new and emerging writers, directors and producers. Our BFI NETWORK Wales activity supports filmmakers at this level who were born or are based in Wales.

Ydych chi'n wneuthurwr ffilmiau dogfen o Gymru, sy'n awyddus i greu eich ffilm fer gyntaf wedi’i hariannu gan y diwydiant? Neu efallai fod gennych chi rywfaint o brofiad yn y maes ffeithiol, neu mewn maes creadigol arall, ac yr hoffech chi groesi i raglenni dogfen sinematig?

Ymunwch â Ffilm Cymru a BFI NETWORK Cymru i gael gwybod mwy am Gronfa Ffilm Fer Beacons, sydd ar agor ar hyn o bryd ar gyfer ceisiadau.

Mae Beacons yn cael ei redeg mewn partneriaeth â BBC Cymru. Mae'n darparu cyllid yn ogystal â chymorth creadigol ac ymarferol, hyfforddiant a chyfleoedd mentora i helpu gwneuthurwyr ffilm i ddatblygu eu gyrfaoedd. Mae ffilmiau byrion a gynhyrchwyd drwy'r cynllun wedi llwyddo mewn gwyliau, wedi ennill nifer o wobrau, cael eu darlledu ar BBC Cymru a'u rhyddhau ar iPlayer.

Yn ystod y digwyddiad ar-lein rhad ac am ddim hwn cewch gyfle i gysylltu'n anffurfiol â thîm BFI NETWORK Cymru a gyda gwneuthurwyr ffilmiau dogfen eraill. Byddwn yn hapus i ateb eich cwestiynau am Beacons a rhoi arweiniad strategol ar wneud cais.
