Call For Applications: World Cinema Fund (WCF) Africa 2024 (€40,000 in funding)
Share

In cooperation with the German Federal Foreign Office the World Cinema Fund launched a special funding opportunity for projects from sub-Saharan Africa in 2016. All WCF submissions with projects from sub-Saharan Africa will automatically also be considered for special funding by the WCF Africa program.

The WCF aims to support films in the WCF regions/countries by developing active cooperation between producers and directors from these regions and German partners. Therefore, German film companies play an important role in the structure of the WCF – in a cultural-political and in economic way.

Eligibility

Eligible to apply are:

  • film production companies from sub-Saharan African regions, that can confirm their collaboration with a director from a sub-Saharan Africa region/country or
  • registered film production companies based in Germany (in the commercial register or registered trade) that can prove a working relationship with a director from a sub-Saharan Africa region/country or
  • registered film production companies from other EU member states provided they have a branch or place of business in Germany and can prove a working relationship with a director from a sub-Saharan Africa region.

Grant

  • Maximum funding: 40,000 Euros for post-production funding.
  • The total production costs of the supported projects should range between 200,000 Euros and 1,400,000 Euros.
  • The funding must be spent on the post-production of the film in the aforementioned regions.

Application

There are two submission processes per year.

  • The deadline for the first submission process is the end of February/beginning of March. The jury meetings in which decisions are made on these submissions are usually held at the end of June/beginning of July.
  • The deadline for the second submission process is in July and jury meetings to decide on these submissions are usually held in early November.

The following documents must be attached to the online Submission Form (in English or French):

  • Financing information:
    • Financing Plan in Euros and in the respective local currency (if available). A model financing plan can be downloaded here.
      The financing plan must contain the following information: names of the companies/partners involved, type of financing (funds, own investment, in-kind contributions, Sales/MG, etc.), shares (in percentage) of the respective partners, broken down by country in each case. Please also indicate which amounts are already secured and which are still open (as well as the estimated date on which a response/decision is expected).
    • Budget (detailed): in Euros and local currency (if available).
  • Contracts and agreements: all financing agreements and/or letters of intent from financing partners that have already been confirmed.
  • Signed co-production contracts/cooperation agreements or deal memos.
  • Rights transfer: The transfer of rights is a document or contract that transfers the rights of the screenwriter to the producer and officially authorizes the latter to use the screenplay for a film project. If the author and the producer are the same person, it is not necessary to attach the statement.
  • An artistic/visual concept with a mood board, casting, locations, editing, narrative concept, etc.
  • A password-protected link to the rough cut, including English or French subtitles (in case the original language is none of these).

Deadline: February 28, 2024
