The Pears Short Film Fund at UK Jewish Film was established in 2006. The Fund’s goal is to create new opportunities for filmmakers in the UK, and to encourage and support the production and exhibition of short films on themes that engage with British-Jewish life, history and culture. Many of the previous winning films have gone on to receive awards and nominations at top international film festivals.
Two grants of up to £13,500 are available for the production of a short film – drama, animation or factual – with a Jewish theme of significance to both Jewish and general audiences. The fund focuses on supporting the production and exhibition of short films that reflect British-Jewish stories, life, history and culture. Areas of relevance include identity, interfaith, assimilation, integration, antisemitism and racism.

The annual grant deadline is usually January.
