Two film grants of up to £10,000 are made available by The Pears Foundation Short Film Fund at the UK Jewish Film Festival for the production of a short film or video – drama, animation or factual – with a Jewish theme of significance to both Jewish and general audiences and a maximum length of 10 minutes. The scheme is open to all filmmakers resident in the UK. The deadline for applications is 11th January 2016.

Currently sponsored by The Pears Foundation, the fund offers two grants of up to £10,000 to two filmmakers each year to make a short film with a Jewish theme. With up to 70 applications each year, although only two films are funded, numerous scripts go on to find alternative funding as the fund stimulates interest and creating more short films in the UK with Jewish themes.
