Creative England has launched the latest iteration of its iFeatures low budget feature film initiative, made possible through National Lottery funding from the BFI and supported by BBC Films and Creative Skillset's Film Skills Fund. iFeatures backs directors, writers and producers making their first features, the ambition being to foster the highest quality British debuts from the most dynamic and inventive storytellers.

It has proven itself to be highly successful, with previous productions such as LADY MACBETH, APOSTASY and THE LEVELLING enjoying critical acclaim and firmly establishing exceptional new talent. Up to 12 projects and teams will be selected for the latest round of iFeatures, all of which will benefit from a series of development Labs over the full duration of the programme, in addition to receiving dedicated support for their route to market.

iFeatures is now open to talent and stories from across the UK, including Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The application deadline is 28th March 2018. Find out more at ifeatures.co.uk.

Come and meet iFeatures Executive Kate O'Hara to hear about the latest round of iFeatures, followed by a chance to network with your fellow filmmakers.
