30 Day Grant Funding Challenge
Emma Sithole
You've got the project and the drive to make it happen. You just don't know where or how to apply for funding.

The 30 Day Grant Funding Challenge is a live, guided programme that takes you from zero clue to plan, write and submitting of an application. You will literally condense a decade into days.

JALI FILM WEEKENDER 2026 Lunchtime Talk: Geração 80 Masterclass
Jali Collective
As part of the Spotlight: Geração 80 programme we welcome Ery Claver from Geração 80 for a special Lunchtime Talk Masterclass. Founded in 2010 by Tchiloia Lara, Jorge Cohen and Mário Bastos, Geração 80 was born from a burning desire to tell Angolan stories with authenticity, innovation and vision. A film production company dedicated to connecting generations and strengthening Angolan cinema, their mission is to bring Angola to the screen, tell African stories and collectively make films. Geração 80 has played a key role in shaping contemporary Angolan cinema, with productions spanning feature films and documentaries, showcasing at major international film festivals across five continents. Every Thursday, they transform their backyard into Cine Geração, where they’ve been screening films for over 200 weeks. This Masterclass is an exciting opportunity to deeply explore Geração 80’s extensive archive. Where did it all begin; how has the shape of their work, and the context(s) they navigate changed over a decade and a half; what does collective filmmaking look like in practice; and how they continue to create space for Angolan talent and audiences.

JALI FILM WEEKENDER 2026 Lunchtime Talk: Community-centred cultural spaces in a climate of division
Jali Collective
Building on a conversation begun at last year’s Jali Film Weekender, this lunchtime talk is a space we will return to at each edition, bringing together artists, filmmakers, programmers, cultural workers and community organisers to think collectively about what it means to centre Black, African and diaspora communities within film and the arts. Last year, we asked how our communities can feel truly seen and included within Scotland’s cultural landscape. This year, we continue that conversation at a moment of heightened hostility towards Black and racialised communities in Scotland and beyond, asking what community-centred cultural work can and must look like in response. Why is creating spaces for our communities to gather, watch, participate and tell their own stories increasingly important? What responsibilities and considerations come with doing this work and how can arts and film spaces resist the narratives, divisions and exclusions taking hold around us?
