Development funding from the Filmwerkstatt Münster
Are you a young filmmaker with an exciting idea for a film project? But you still lack the financial resources, some exchange and support to start the project?
The Filmwerkstatt Münster offers up-and-coming filmmakers from Münster and the surrounding area the opportunity to receive development funding of up to €1,500 for the year 2025.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a documentary or feature film – whether short or long film. The money can be used for research, script development, test or trailer shoots.
What you have to do:
Apply by 15.01.2025
exclusively via e-mail at
projektpool@filmwerkstatt-muenster.de
with the following documents as PDF:
- Letter of motivation (max. 1 A4 page)
- Curriculum vitae with filmography
- Description of the film project (max. 1 A4 page)
- A calculation that shows how much (max. €1,500) and what you want to spend the development funding on.
The projects should be made by you or be thematically located in Münster or the Münsterland region. It doesn’t matter how old you are as a young filmmaker.
The research/project development is to be carried out by September 2025. The film projects and results will then be presented and discussed in a workshop discussion.
The Filmwerkstatt Münster also endeavours to provide intensive support for the film projects during the research period and beyond, for example by providing technology and advice as well as free access to seminars.
We look forward to receiving your application!
The project pool is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of NRW
