Apex Arts launches the 2010-2011 round of Grants. Please download the Criteria and Application forms from here.



Our Logo
In August 2007 a winning logo design was chosen to reflect WFAC's new working name, Apex Arts. A graffiti-style logo by 17 year-old Chingford student, Kate Rowland, was chosen to reflect the more dynamic, contemporary image. Kate was awarded a prize of £100 and given the opportunity to work with professional graphic designer, Jim Cheatle, to make her design print-ready.

Hitchcock Film Award
Apex Arts, through its Hitchcock Production Fund, has £10,000 for Waltham Forest filmmakers to produce new short films. The Fund runs each year and opens in early April. Films can be shot on any of these formats: Mini DV, DVCAM, HDV, HD, Beta SP, 16mm, or 36mm.
They can be any genre: Documentary, Thriller, Drama, Comedy, Musical, etc.

Film Workshops
