Are you planning to make an animated film and still haven’t secured funding? From 25th February to 25th March you can submit your application to the State Cinematography Fund. A total of 6 million CZK will be divided among chosen projects as a part of the “Complete development of Czech animated cinematography work” programme. All the necessary information can be found here (http://fondkinematografie.cz/assets/media/files/vyzvy/unor2016/2016-1-2-6%20vyzva%20vyvoj%20animovany.pdf).
We would also like to invite everyone who is interested in this offer to a special presentation at Anifilm. Representatives of the State Cinematography Fund will introduce the fund’s policy towards young filmmakers and explain the application process. Thanks to a government subsidy, the fund has gained access to 350 million CZK to support Czech cinematography and the Fund Board responsible for the grant allocation has prepared a new long-term plan how to dispose of the money. The members will introduce the board’s priorities regarding animated films as well as the new grant system, its rules and possibilities of obtaining grants for production, distribution and propagation of animated films.
