Funding

Operating from the point of view of economic viability and culture, the FFA funds feature films at all stages of production and exploitation: from script development through production to distribution, sales and video distribution. Further support is made available for the funding of cinemas or the preservation of the film heritage. Apart from its own funding activities, the FFA also functions as a service provider, processing the film projects supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture & the Media (BKM) by processing its supported film projects.
