Deadline for applications: Tuesday 29 May 2007.

Cornwall Film is presenting a showcase of the 2007 Digital Shorts, trailers for the Target Talent projects, and five recently commissioned case studies of Cornish companies in London on Friday 22 June.

We are offering up to 20 bursaries to Cornish media practitioners to ensure you are able to attend the event. This is a unique opportunity for Cornwall's media practitioners to network with the wider industry. We will be inviting national industry representatives to attend to find out more about all that Cornwall's media sector has to offer.

In the evening after the screening, we will be organising a further networking event with Top TV Academy. Cornwall Film is offering up to 20 bursaries for Cornish media practitioners to attend the event. The bursaries will have a maximum value of £200 to cover the cost of travel.

As this event also offers a chance to network with other local film-makers, we are hoping to organise for all Cornish representatives to travel up by train on Friday morning and to return on the sleeper on Friday night. If we are unable to arrange this, it may be necessary to stay in London on the night of the 21st and/or 22nd and bursary recipients must be available to do so if required. The bursary would then also be used to cover accommodation costs.

Applications will be assessed on the likely benefit to you and your career/business of attending these events and networking with the wider industry (for instance, if you have taken a key role in a project to be screened, and meeting the wider sector will help progress your career). We will also assess you on how you will be able to spread this benefit of these links to the wider industry in Cornwall.

Do give us a call if you have any questions. You will need to complete an application form - so please call us on 01872 240 900 if you would like a copy by post or download it here [1]. We hope to see you in London!
