The Jan Vrijman Fund is looking for creative documentaries and documentary events in developing countries. When selecting projects, the fund strives to have a minimum of 18% of the selected projects from countries from the two left columns on the DAC list (Least Developed Countries and Lower Income Countries).
Regulations
1. The director should have the nationality of a developing country and live and work in a developing country, as defined on the DAC list. In addition the production company attached to the project must be based in a country on the DAC list. PLEASE NOTE: as of June 2008, filmmakers from Croatia cannot apply anymore.
2. If a production company from a non-DAC list country is attached to the project, it is also necessary that the project has a producer and production company in a developing country. In this case, the application to the fund must be filed by the producer in the developing country.
3. A project can be submitted only once for the category Script and Project Development and once for the category Production and Post-production….
The Jan Vrijman Fund gives financial support twice a year. The next deadline for submitting projects is 15 May 2011. For more information, visit this link.
