Project Development
Prior to the actual production phase, producers of theatrical feature films and television films may apply for project development support. Funding is granted in the form of a conditionally repayable, non-interest-bearing loan. The loan may amount to a maximum of 70% of the calculated project development costs, but is not to exceed 100,000 euros per project. Producers based in or with branch offices in Germany are eligible to file applications for funding.
The amount of the loan is to be spent in Bavaria to the extent that this is possible. If the project is (subsequently) awarded production funding, the loan will be offset against this.
Slate Funding
In justified cases, several projects, including transmedia and innovative digital narrative forms, may be combined in one project development application. In such cases, the maximum funding amount is 150,000 euros.
Applications
Applications must include a screenplay or a detailed treatment with fully-elaborated shot sequences with at least one-fourth of the developed dialogue, as well as the calculation for the project development costs and a realization concept. Project development funding does not give rise to legal claims for further funding. Applications for project development funding may be submitted for all five of the FFF Allocation Committee meetings throughout the year. Before submitting your application, please contact the respective funding executive.
