Film Festivals

Skillset supports and sponsors many events and festivals as part of our work to promote skills, education and training. We also often directly fund the delivery of training which results in activities such as masterclasses, seminars and networking events.
There is no better way of letting you know what we're up to than face-to-face contact and that's why we have a programme of outreach and a festival strategy. We support projects that inform and educate people working in the industry about Skillset: who we are, what we do and how to benefit directly from Skillset funding.
