The Hubert Bals Fund (Rotterdam International Film Festival) has extended its support offering with the creation of a new international co-production fund called HBF + Europe. This new fund will support European producers coming in as minority co-producers on feature films being made by young directors from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe.
Projects must have at least one European co-producer and one non-European co-producer.
This year 4 projects will be eligible for funding. The maximum support per project is €55,000. Deadline: April 1st 2015.
Additional support will be available for these films in the form of distribution grants (prints, advertising and marketing) with a special interest in innovative distribution strategies which explore the potential of online distribution.
