FOC Film Promotion: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Independent filmmakers in Switzerland can access selective production funding for short and feature films through this federal scheme.
This scheme provides selective production funding to support the creative development and production of short and feature films.
Who it's for
This program is designed for independent filmmakers. It is intended to provide support to creators working independently within the film industry.
What you get
If your project is selected, you can receive production funding to help cover the costs of making films. This support is available for two distinct categories: short films and feature-length films. Because this is a selective funding process, awards are made based on the specific merits of the project.
What it costs you
Securing this funding requires a significant commitment of time. You will need to navigate an extensive application process to be considered. Additionally, the scheme requires you to have co-production partners involved in your project to meet the application requirements.
The catch to know
The deadlines for these applications are strict. If you miss a deadline, the current cycle will be closed to you, and you will have to wait a full year to apply again.
How to apply
- Determine if your project qualifies as a short film or a feature film.
- Arrange for the required co-production partners to be part of your project.
- Complete the extensive application process required by the issuing body.
- Submit your application via the official portal before the strict deadline.
