The Frameline Completion Fund provides grants to emerging and established filmmakers. This program seeks to provide a much-needed source of financial contributions to artists who often struggle to secure funding to complete their works. Grants up to $5,000 are available for the completion of films that represent and reflect LGBTQ+ life in all its complexity and richness.

  
For over a quarter century, Frameline has awarded $667,500 to 190 projects (**see all past recipients on our website**) to help ensure that LGBTQ+ film/video projects are completed and viewed by wider audiences. Projects finished with assistance from the Frameline Completion Fund include _Pariah_, _Go Fish_, _No Straight Lines: The Rise of Queer Comics, Lingua Franca, North by Current, The Watermelon Woman_, _By Hook or By Crook_, _Call Her Ganda, Chavela, Appropriate Behavior, To Be Takei, Last Call at Maud’s, The New Black, 1985, It Came from Kuchar, Brother to Brother, Kumu Hina, Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen_, _The Cockettes, Vito, Freeheld, We Were Here, The Happy Sad_, _Signature Move_, _In the Summers_, and _The Brandon Teena Story._

  
Submissions are accepted for documentary, narrative, experimental, animated, or episodic projects about LGBTQ+ people and their communities. The Fund also seeks to bring new work to under-served audiences; with this in mind, we especially encourage applications by women, people of color, transgender people, intersex people, asexual people, non-binary people, disabled people, and other underrepresented people and communities.

Grants up to $5,000 are available for the completion of films that represent and reflect LGBTQ+ life in all its complexity and richness. The standard Completion Fund grant ranges from $1,000 to $5,000 although the jury can recommend a higher or lower amount.
