The Arts Foundation is extremely excited to announce the first award category of the Arts Foundation Futures Awards 2026 is Film.
The Film Award supports exceptional early-stage career filmmakers, and this year we are highlighting emotive and inventive storytellers working in non-fiction.
Announced at the award ceremony in February 2026, the recipient of the Arts Foundation Futures Awards 2026 for Film will receive an unconditional £20,000 Fellowship, with all three Shortlisted Artists each awarded £1,000.
We’ll be announcing this year’s independent Jury of artists and industry professionals over the coming weeks.
