Winter 2009
Feature-film Production Grants
In its continuing effort to promote original filmmaking by individuals from around the world,
The Global Film Initiative is pleased to announce the Winter 2009 cycle of its
feature–film Production Grants program.
The Global Film Initiative Production Grants are awarded twice a year, in Winter and Summer, to filmmakers
whose work exhibits artistic excellence, authentic self–representation and accomplished storytelling, while
contributing to the development of local film industries and offering audiences a variety of cultural perspectives
on daily life around the world. Monies received through The Initiative's granting program are used to support completion
of film production, and to subsidize post–production costs, such as laboratory and sound mixing fees and access to
modern editing systems.
This year, The Global Film Initiative will award Production Grants of up to $10,000 each to select applicants during
its Winter granting cycle. These funds are made available following the Initiative's evaluation of an applicant's
completed screenplay and early film–footage, and may be accompanied by a pre–sale option for exclusive U.S. distribution
of an applicant's film by The Global Film Initiative. Individuals may submit more than one film for consideration per
granting cycle but please note that only applications from qualifying countries or regions will be considered and that
Production Grants are not available for documentary or short films.*
The Global Film Initiative strongly believes in supporting narrative storytelling traditions from around the world and
invites all qualified applicants to submit their work for granting consideration. For Applications & Guidelines, please
see the links to the left of the screen.
Application deadline: January 23, 2009. Applications will be accepted starting November 1, 2008.
*The Global Film Initiative accepts grant applications from countries in the following regions: Latin America,
The Caribbean, Africa, The Middle East (excluding Iran), Asia (excluding Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan), and Oceania
(excluding Australia and New Zealand).
