Production Support

Since 2004, the World Cinema Fund has helped to give shape and visibility to largely unseen cinema – by supporting film production in countries that lack a constructive film industry and by giving talented filmmakers the opportunity to gain or improve their international recognition and reach a global audience. Over the years, the WCF has positioned itself as a funding institution that can play a cultural-political role in the realisation of very different projects and the installation of production structures. Besides the traditional WCF funding programme the WCF Europe was established. It is supported by the Creative Europe MEDIA programme, putting together projects, directors and producers from WCF funding regions with European producers. From 2024, the TUI Colourful Cultures programme of the TUI Care Foundation will endow an annual award to financially support outstanding film projects from Africa
