OXFORD FILM AND VIDEO MAKERS LIMITED

Film Oxford is a hub for film and digital media that aims to enrich the public's knowledge of film and digital media, by providing a route for all stakeholders to develop new skills, make new contacts and build a portfolio of work they can share. We particularly support young people (the next generation of Filmmakers), as well as people with learning disabilities and other marginalised groups.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
