Organisation

History

Film London subsumed the roles of two previously existing organizations: the London Film Commission (LFC) and the London Film Video and Development Agency (LFVDA). Film London was formed on 17 March 2003 under the aegis of the UK Film Council and the London Development Agency, the Mayor of London's development arm.

Sandy Lieberson was appointed as chairman of the board in March 2003, and chief executive Adrian Wootton joined in May that year. The agency was officially launched in April 2004.

Current networks

In 2005, Film London in partnership with Arts Council England, established the Film London Artists' Moving Image Network (FLAMIN). FLAMIN supports London-based artists working in moving image in all its forms; whether film, video, digital, animation or new technologies and for installation, cinema, gallery exhibition, the public realm or broadcast.

Film London Artists' Moving Image Network works in partnership with various organisations to provide: funding, events, seminars, advice, surgeries, residencies, training and workshops.

The FLAMIN website^[3] provides information and listings tailored to meet the needs of artists working with the moving image.

Film London Microwave, a micro-budget feature film fund, launched in 2006. The scheme challenges film-makers to shoot a full-length feature film for up to £100,000 with cash and in-kind support.

Microwave is open to film-makers working in documentary, fiction, animation, and to artists working with the moving image.

Accompanying the scheme is a web-based resource – Microwave Online. The website^[4] outlines the details of all projects supported through Film London Microwave, and also offers current news in the independent film-making sector, as well as educational resources.
