Filmfond – Rules and Regulations

Objectives

The principal goal of the Göteborg International Film Festival Fund, GIFFF, is to help filmmakers in developing countries to realise their film projects. The primary object of the fund is to provide assistance in film making within the following three prime areas:

Film development assistance - by reaching filmmakers who are in the developing stages of a project and need support to continue and complete their films and by supporting workshops and training.

Post-production assistance - by helping locally initiated and produced films, encompassing technical and distribution assistance, or both.

Technical assistance - by contributing to the creation of small, self-sufficient technical centres where filmmakers and producers can work on projects and train others in technical aspects of filmmaking.

The primary target group for the Göteborg International Film Festival Fund are locally based, young filmmakers. The GIFFF also concentrates on providing opportunities for discussion on gender and promote female directors.

All projects sent to the GIFFF are assessed by the film fund co-ordinator, followed by a selection committee and finishing with a final selection by a group of competent film experts.
