and three million DA (slightly less than 30,000 euros) for short films. The support may be given as a loan or a grant.
The conditions and details of each loan are determined by agreement between the "Conseil national de laudiovisuel"

In the case of grants, once the approval is received, the payment is made in three parts: 40% upon signature of the
agreement, to help the beneficiary start producing his/her film, 30% when shooting starts and 30% at the end of shooting.

Flanders Audiovisual Fund Belgium (Belgique)
The Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF) supports audiovisual production in, as well as international co-productions with
Flanders. The Fund was set up by the Flanders government in 2002 and is headquartered in Brussels. The aims of the
Flanders Audiovisual Fund are threefold: to develop a sustainable audiovisual industry, to encourage and support
upcoming audiovisual talent and to promote a vibrant audiovisual culture in Flanders. VAF accomplishes four main tasks.
It provides financial support for audiovisual productions and promotes these in Flanders as well as abroad. The Fund also
grants scholarships, finances professional training and supports/organizes workshops as well as carries out surveys on
the audiovisual field.
1.Production
The Flanders Audiovisual Fund annually receives a 12.5 million grant of the Flanders government. A minimum of 78% of
the annual budget goes to production support. Filmmakers can apply for support to fiction, documentary, animation and
experimental media production. VAF distinguishes four types of support: scriptwriting support, development support,
production support and support towards promotion. All funding applications are examined by reading committees, the
members of which have critical skills and a thorough knowledge of the audiovisual field. These committees give their
recommendations to the Board of Directors, which has the final decision.
2.Promotion
Flanders Image is a division of the Flanders Audiovisual Fund, taking care of the promotion of Flanders audiovisual
productions in Belgium as well as abroad. By combining the three key elements of filmmaking development, production
and promotion VAF is able to execute a coherent audiovisual policy and back Flanders audiovisual productions with
solid promotion. Flanders Image attends a large number of festivals and markets, such as Rotterdam, Berlin, Cannes and
MIP and organizes and/or participates in film events abroad that are aimed at supporting Flanders audiovisual
productions.
3.Training
A considerable part of the Funds annual budget (1 million) is reserved for professional training. The Flanders
Audiovisual Fund grants scholarships, finances professional training and supports/organizes workshops. It allows young
filmmakers to gain experience and confidence in filmmaking and gives audiovisual professionals the opportunity to
specialise.
4.Research
The Flanders Audiovisual Fund also reserves a modest budget for research related to the audiovisual field. Its focus is on
practical surveys.

PRODUIRE AU SUD WORKSHOP

PRODUIRE AU SUD is a workshop focusing on the outline and structure of film co-production within the industry. The
workshops aim to familiarize young producers based in the south: Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Near and Middle East
and Central and Eastern Europe with a variety of important tools.
The PRODUIRE AU SUD workshop was created in 2000 in Nantes, in order to support the creation of a network of young
producers from Asia, Africa and Latin America and lay the foundations for lasting cooperation between European film
professionals and emerging professionals from the South.
The next edition takes place November 19-25, 2012 in the framework of the Festival of the 3 Continents.
Produire au Sud is a 8-day training workshops that proposes:
a production workshop: a 3 days master class with European professionals: introduction to co-production, coproduction contracts, fundraising, international sales, specific case studies ;
a marketing workshop: pitch training and a public presentation of scripts and projects to potential producers;
a scriptwriting workshop: 2 days of individual analysis and appreciation by scriptwriters and producers familiar
with co-productions and international sales issues.
International professionals run the workshops: producers, legal experts, distributors, sales managers, specialized TV
channel staff members, and European scriptwriters.
Without any doubt PRODUIRE AU SUD workshop is now one of the places in the world where a large contribution to
tomorrow's best cinema is taking place. While the Nantes workshop has become, over the years, a key rendezvous,
PRODUIRE AU SUD workshop, in partnership with international film festivals, is also present abroad (PRODUIRE AU
SUD Buenos Aires, Bangkok, Salvador de Bahia, Beirut, Durban...).
Each year the hundreds of applications demonstrate the success of the PRODUIRE AU SUD workshop.
LES 3 CONTINENTS has created a quality label and established a group of selected professionals whose common
ground is their love for the cinema, commitment to a high standard in film production, and an enthusiasm for creating new
synergies in the field.

opportunity to make useful contacts and network with producers, distributors, international sales agents, sponsors, and

subject matter, and including both fiction and documentary films whether they are at the writing stage, in production, or

qualities, which coincide with the FIDMarseilles editorial ethos, but also for their international potential and market
accessibility.

realised or are currently in production. Every year, the IFFR screens completed films supported by the Fund.

support the Hubert Bals Fund projects in the stage of actual production, the Hubert Bals Fund Plus has been set up by
the Dutch Film Fund and the Hubert Bals Fund of the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Since 2006 the Dutch Film

of 50.000.
Training, workshops, the Hubert Bals Fund Award
The Fund can support training initiatives for filmmakers all over the world. Workshops have been supported in for instance
Ethiopia, Vietnam and Costa Rica. In Armenia, India and the Philippines, the Hubert Bals Fund has participated in coproduction meetings. On these occasions, Hubert Bals Fund Awards are granted to the most promising film projects.
Hubert Bals Fund supported films at major international film festivals.
Over the years, the interest for HBF supported films steadily increased. Many international film festivals keep a close eye
on completed HBF supported films and select them for their programmes. Each year, HBF supported films are screened

SRFOND, Norwegian South Film Fund Norway (Norvge)
The new Norwegian film fund SRFOND, financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and managed by the
Norwegian Film Institute, will contribute to the completion of films from Southern countries. Following a large and positive
interest among international filmmakers, SRFOND has, in its first ever funding-round, awarded NOK 4 million (around
530,000) to seven different projects.
Strengthening freedom of expression
Following an initiative by the Films from the South Foundation, SRFOND was established in 2010. The fund aims to
support film production in countries where such production is limited by political, economic or social causes. The fund will
help to strengthen film as a mean for cultural expression, promote diversity and artistic integrity on the international film
stage. A unique feature of SRFOND in comparison with other similar European funds is that it focuses in priority on
freedom of expression while assessing the applications.
International networking
The first round of applications confirmed that there is great interest from Norwegian producers and film professionals to
create contacts outside Europe and North America. The hope is that new international contacts can contribute to an
increased internationalization of Norwegian producers, and provide inspiration for new ways to tell local stories.
Guidelines
The guidelines apply to grants for the production of films with a main producer based in a country on the OECD's current
list of countries and territories eligible to receive assistance (DAC-list), and a minority producer established in Norway.
The application has to concern a film with the main producer established in a country on the DAC-list. In addition, the
director must have citizenship from, or be resident in, a country on the DAC-list. The film must, for the most part, be shot
in a country on the DAC-list. In exceptional cases, derogations may be made regarding the establishment of the main
producer in a country on the DAC-list, if, due to political reasons, the film cannot be produced in such a country.
Deadline for application is February 27, 2013. The Norwegian minority producer is responsible for sending the
application to SRFOND.

fund and produce their own stories.
Objectives
Create a credible and sustainable film financing model
Develop training opportunities to strengthen the film industry work force
Foster networking opportunities between talent from the MENA countries and the international film community

Film Financing is divided into two categories:
Film Grants (Development, Production, Post-Production, P&A) to projects issued from MENA countries.
Co-Productions with MENA or international projects. These are based on equity investments aimed to foster industry

educational opportunities for young Arabs during all stages of development and production.
Film Grants
Grants are available across all stages of development and production for projects submitted by directors, producers, and
screenwriters from the MENA countries.

The National Film & Video Foundation (NFVF) South Africa (Afrique du Sud)
The National Film & Video Foundation (NFVF) is a statutory body mandated by parliament to spearhead the development
of the South African film and video industry.
The National Film & Video Foundation provides film and video-related funding in four broad categories: Education and
Training, Development Funding, Production Funding, Marketing and Distribution.
What form does funding take?
Funding may take the form of a grant, investment or loan depending on the type of application and project. In addition to
financial assistance, other forms of support will be made available once the NFVF has established appropriate support
mechanisms. Funding allocation to selected projects will vary according to the specific cash flow needs of the project.
Development Funding
Foundation will consider contributing development funding to projects in the following categories: Feature-length and
short films, Documentaries, Animation and Multimedia.
The Foundation considers development funding as an investment and will set in place mechanisms to recoup all of its
development expenditure with interest on principal photography when the project enters the production phase. If a project
fails to be realised, the Foundation reserves the right to be reimbursed.
Who can apply ?
Independent production companies or writers may apply to the NFVF for development funding. In the case of writers, the
NFVF may assist the writer to find a producer. Companies that apply for development funding must hold exclusive rights
or options for at least 24 months.
Production Funding
The NFVF considers production funding primarily as an investment and as such will recoup its expenditure at the time of
delivery of the finished product through traditional commercial distribution and exhibition channels.
The following genres will be considered for production funding: Documentaries, Features, Short and specialised film and
video productions, Animation, Multimedia projects that have an audiovisual component
Who can apply ?
South African-owned production companies that have reasonable experience may apply for production funding in any of
the above-mentioned genres.
New and emerging film-makers that would not otherwise have the opportunity to actively participate in the local film
industry, may apply for production funding in only two genres: short films and documentaries. However, in order to qualify,
the filmmakers or writers should have a production company attached.

With support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) of the Swiss Foreign Ministry, for the last
eight years the Open Doors section has worked to highlight filmmakers and films from countries whose cinema is still

production support. For the public audience, the Open Doors Screenings present a selection of key films from the national
cinemas of the chosen region.
Since its inception, Open Doors has showcased projects from Cuba and Argentina, countries in the Mekong, the
Maghreb, South-East Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand), the Near and Middle East (Mashrek), Latin
America, Greater China, central Asia and India. The last edition (2012) focused on Subsaharan francophone Africa.

or regional language.
Visions sud est is a partner of the Open Doors Factory programme of Locarno International Film Festival. Applicants may
submit their projects to visions sud est as well as to Open Doors. Support by one of these organisations, however,
excludes support from the other one.
A project application cannot be considered a second time in the same application category if it has been unsuccessful in
a previous application round. Furthermore, a project can only obtain a support by visions sud est once. This means that if
it has already been granted production support by visions sud est, an application for post-production support for the same
project will not be considered.
On all material of promotion and among the opening and closing credits of the film the following must appear : The logo of
the fund, followed by the text "with the support of the SDC (Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation)" as well as
references to (and logos of) public or private institutions which have contributed to the co-financing of the work.
They must be mentioned as financial partners of the project.
Type of assistance
There are two types of financial support:
- Support of the production of fictional films on the basis of documents attesting to the feasibility of the project.
- Support of the finishing (post-production) of fictional and documentary films on the basis of a first cut and a
finishing concept.
A fictional film project will be supported with a maximum of 50000 Swiss francs for production or a maximum of 20000
Swiss francs for post-production. A documentary will be supported with a maximum of 15000 Swiss francs for postproduction. This support entails the global distribution rights for Switzerland. The amount granted by the visions sud est
fund for one single project may not exceed 10% of the funds means.
The next application deadlines are:
October 24, 2012
