Apulia Development Fund – the new fund of AFC
Apulia Development Fund is the new fund of Apulia Film Commission that supports the development of original screenplay or adapted from other works of literature of cultural and social relevance and clearly set wholly or partially in Apulia.
The fund, in the form of a free grant, allocates direct funding of 50% of the project development budget in covering the expenses incurred in developing a film project in Apulia, in any format and for any distribution network.
Apulia Development Fund has three deadlines during the year (31 Jan, 31 May and 30 Sept 2013) with a total funding budget of €90,000.
Funding is available for Italian, European and non-European production companies in the audiovisual, film and TV fields presenting applications for feature-length fiction or animation films, TV movies (also animation), TV or internet series (also animation), documentaries and docu-fictions.
The project must be a story- line, treatment, original screenplay or adapted from other works of literature of cultural and social relevance and clearly set wholly or partially in Apulia.
The AFC Foundation Board assesses projects within 60 days and bases evaluation on a project’s artistic and technical quality, assigning a score up to a maximum of 100. Projects which are awarded a score of 70 or more will be considered for funding. Only two projects obtaining the highest evaluation scores will be eligible for funding for each session up to a maximum of €15,000.
