Film London connects ideas, talent and finance in order to nurture and develop a pioneering creative culture.They work to sustain, promote and develop London as a global content production hub supporting the development of the city’s new and emerging filmmaking talent as well as investing in a diverse and rich film culture. Their aim is to ensure the capital is a thriving centre for a creative industries sector that enriches the city’s businesses and its people.
Since 2018 Film London has supported 443 filmmakers, reflecting the breadth of talent across London’s screen industries and celebrating a variety of successes, from international festival circuits and award wins to community and environmental impact. Film London also commissions and exhibits new, boundary-pushing moving image work that engages audiences worldwide.

Each year they hold the prestigious Jarman Award to celebrate the UK’s most innovative, cutting-edge moving image artists. Now in its thirteenth year, the Award has established a reputation for talent spotting, with eight of the shortlisted artists going on to win, or be nominated for, the Turner Prize.

Film London also manages London’s Screen Archives, which works to collect, preserve and share archive footage from across the capital.
