Jury-based cultural production funding for feature-length films

As of 1 January 2025, the FFA took over full implementation of the Federal Government’s jury-based cultural film funding programme within the context of contract administration.

The new guideline for the Federal Government’s jury-based cultural film funding programme is currently the subject of consultations between various government departments. All of the involved parties are working at full speed to be able to publish the guideline as well as associated additional information about the application process as quickly as possible.

The BKM and the FFA are planning to have deadlines in place in March/April 2025. The first jury meetings are scheduled to take place from early summer.

The level of funding to be awarded will initially depend on the provisional budget. Once the federal budget for 2025 has been adopted, additional funding may be awarded at the subsequent jury sessions.

Applications for production funding for films by young talents (feature-length fiction films, documentaries and children's films, and shorts) can be submitted to the Federal Government's jury-based cultural film funding programme temporarily until the end of the provisional budget.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We will keep you updated about all of the further developments.
