£40,000 KAILAS X KENDAL MOUNTAIN FILM GRANT UP FOR GRABS
The Kendal x Kailas Grant is for a documentary film of up to 30 minutes exploring ‘Mountain Spirit’, to be made between April 24 and September 24, and premiered at Kendal Mountain Festival November 2024.
Kendal and Kailas celebrate mountains as the test-field and dreamland for humans to push their mental and physical limits. This project is to fund filmmakers to go into the world-wide mountain ranges and tell expedition and adventure stories.
GRANT DETAILS:
The total funding pot is £40,000, double the 2023 Grant. There is extra finance potential depending on the requirements of the awarded projects.
The Kailas and Kendal teams ask applicants to apply for up to the total amount, but to be realistic - they may divide the funding pot between a number of applicants.
The Kendal team will support the winning filmmakers with development meetings throughout production to delivery.
Kailas will provide a full provision of expedition kit from their range; this must be selected and sent in by the winning filmmaker a week after selection.
Kendal will offer feedback sessions to unsuccessful Filmmakers.
