“Birmingham International Film Society
Award: £8,000
The Birmingham Film Society shows independent and foreign language film.”

“Borderlines Film Festival
Award: £11,025
Film festival serving audiences across the rural West Midlands”

“Flicks in the Sticks
Award: £6,210
Film touring programme in rural Shropshire and Herefordshire.”

“Light House, Wolverhampton
Award: £12,124
Independent cinema in Wolverhampton that delivers Flip Festival, an animated film festival.”

“mac Birmingham
Award: £8,700
Arts centre and independent cinema – audience development work to support specialised film attendance.”

Seems the Midlands did okay overall but I note Watershed in Bristol got £67k, ‘Encounters’, Bristol’s short film festival got £50k and Southend Film Festival got £20k.
