Eligible for support are projects for feature films, regardless of genre (fiction, animation, documentary), that are co-produced by Italy and Germany and intended above all for distribution in theatres. The amount granted to each film varies from €10,000 up to a maximum of €30,000.

Applications must be sent via email to the following addresses: fsig@beniculturali.it and jones@ffa.de by 15 December 2015. A paper copy must also be sent to the offices of the Italian Directorate General for Cinema and the offices of the FFA. Guidelines and forms can be downloaded here. The documents will also be published on the website of the FFA.

A database has also been set up, on the initative of the Canada Media Fund, to put Canadian and Italian producers in touch with one another, and allows producers to apply for funding available for co-productions between Italy and Canada. The deadline for applications is 30 October 2015. To apply, click here.
