Project Development

Bavaria Effect

The amount of the subsidy should be used as far as possible in Bavaria. The Bavaria effect specified by the producer in the application must at least be achieved and, in the case of a funding recommendation, will become part of the funding contract. 

Application

The application for theatrical and television films must be accompanied by a screenplay or a filmable script. The application for series must be accompanied by a series concept, a script for the first episode and outlines for further episodes. All applications must also be accompanied by a calculation, a financing plan, proof of acquisition of the filming rights and a realization concept. Support for project development does not give rise to any legal entitlement to further support for the project.

Applications for project development funding can be submitted for all four FFF funding meetings in one year exclusively via the online application portal. Before submitting an application, the responsible funding officer must be contacted by telephone or in person. Detailed information on submission can be found in the information sheet on Project Development Funding ("Merkblatt Projektentwicklung").
