Applications are now open for production and post‑production funding through the World Cinema Fund.
The WCF concentrates on backing the production and distribution of films from Latin America, the Caribbean and the Pacific region, Africa, the Middle East, Central and Southeast Asia, the Caucasus, as well as Bangladesh, Nepal, Mongolia and Sri Lanka. For a detailed list of eligible regions and countries, please refer to the country overview sheet (554 KB).
The goal is to promote high-quality filmmaking in regions with a weak infrastructure for film, while fostering cultural diversity in German cinemas as well as supporting collaboration between German and European producers and partners in WCF regions and countries.
All WCF films completed to date have screened at cinemas and/or in the programmes of renowned festivals. Many have also won significant prizes, proof of the worldwide success of the initiative.
The WCF provides support in the fields of production, post-production and distribution for feature length films, creative documentary features and animation films.
All production and distribution projects recommended for funding in 2025 can be found in the WCFleaflet (2.3 MB).
Further information on the current funding recommendations can be found under News.
