SCF Awards

Stuart Croft was an innovative artist whose film practice involved narrative circularity, appropriation and the language of genre cinema. The Stuart Croft Foundation is dedicated to supporting moving image artists and filmmakers to test new ideas and take risks with both form and content.

Launched in March 2017 to support the production and dissemination of new moving image works, the Stuart Croft Foundation scheme has offered three distinct funding awards: the Moving Image Award, the Education Award, and an award that encourages the development of a different aspect concerning moving image each year – a Special Projects Award in 2017, a Research Award in 2018, and a Curation Award in 2020.

The SCF awards have enabled artists, filmmakers, researchers, and curators working in and between the gallery and the cinema to undertake and complete small-scale projects, where other funding options may be difficult to obtain.
