Who can apply
European minority co-producers of documentaries by directors from IBF-listed countries
Limited to the EU and Europe. More than one test applies, such as where you live and where your company is.
What you get
Up to €40,000 per documentary, ideally from late production onwards
| Headline amount | €40,000 | €600,000 maximum total film budget. Applicant share at least 20%; minority structure and combined European-share limits apply. |
|---|
Amounts stay in the currency the organiser uses. Caps, totals and alternatives are listed as published; don’t add them up.
What it costs
The official page didn’t state an entry fee when we read it on 17 Oct 2026. That isn’t the same as free: check the form before you count on it.
What to bring
The materials list isn’t in our notes. The application form will have it.
Terms to read first
| Additional notes | The published 50% financing milestone is due within six months of selection, not necessarily at initial application. |
|---|---|
| Cashflow | Costs eligible after application. At least 50% finance to be secured within six months of selection; this is not a 50%-at-application rule. Budget an external audit. |
| Money terms | No ordinary revenue recoupment established for the listed grant route; reporting, eligible-cost, contractual and recovery-for-breach terms still apply. |
Our notes, not legal advice. Read the contract before you accept a place or grant any rights.
