FilmFour, the film division of Channel Four Television and produces between 15 and 20 feature films each years. Handling finance, production, distribution and broadcast - both free-to-air and pay-TV - FilmFour is the UK's most significant vertically integrated film producer. Since established, it has been involved in the production of 70 shorts and 300 features. FilmFour is committed to new and emerging talent and has established a subsidiary production company, FilmFour Lab to 'support the newest and most striking creative voices and visions of tomorrow's cinema in Britain'. In association with the UK's Museum of the Moving Image (MOMI) Channel Four has established four three month animator's residencies at the museum for recent animation graduates. At the end of the residency, development projects are considered by Channel Four for commissioning. Successful applicants are awarded a fee of £2,910 and a budget of up to £1,612. Although the Museum has closed for much of 2000-2001, the scheme has proved successful and is set to continue in the new British Film Institute centre when it opens.
