The UK film council was the original place a short film maker would look to for funding for their film. However this has now changed as the UK film council is closing and as a result of this the BFI are taking over and running the way Films are funded etc in the UK. The BFI also work closely with the National Lottery as they help film makers to gain funding from elsewhere. They BFI then helps the film makers film to be distributed and advertise.
Local Councils
Other organisations such as a local council often invest money into a short film. From futher research it is said that they put money foward especially if the films deals with social dilemas or benefits the local community.
Charities
Another way short films are film are through the help of charities. A charity will usually fund a short film if the films contains within it, what the charity set out to do. For example the 'Wellcome Trust' a company who are the UK's largest medical research charity fund those films (also projects) which are inspired by biomedical science.
