Liquidation of Screen East
Help for projects affected by Screen East closure
The UK Film Council awarded additional funding to EM Media to support projects affected by the closure of Screen East in September 2010.
On 14 December 2010, EM Media launched EM Media East – a temporary scheme, designed to support a ring-fenced number of projects which had previously been given a commitment of funding from Screen East.
Applications for this finance could only be made by invitation from EM Media and applicants had to meet the following eligibility criteria. The deadline for receipt of completed applications has passed.
Applicants had to:
- Be a resident, or have a trading address, in the East of England. The East of England region covers the counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk and the unitary areas of Bedford, Luton, Peterborough, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock. Proof of residence / trading address will be required; and
- Not be in full-time education; and
- Be able to demonstrate that they have worked in the media industry for at least six months; and
- Be over 18.
Applications were limited to projects that:
- Received a commitment of finance from Screen East between 1 April 2009 and Screen East's closure in September 2010. Such commitment of finance must have been made utilising UK Film Council National Lottery funds – that is from RIFE, Digital Film Archive Fund or Digital Shorts; and
- Did not receive any, or received only part, of the promised finance but did meet the pre-conditions attaching to the finance; and
- Still required finance in order to commence and/or complete.
