The Algerian Government has long taken an interest in the film industry, with the creation in 1968 of the "Fonds de Développement de l’Art, de la Technique et de l’Industrie Cinématographique" (FDATIC). This Fund is designed to support the production and distribution of Algerian films, to develop video archives and to organise film events. Since its establishment in 1992, the National Reading Committee has reviewed 165 themes or scripts and selected 49 beneficiaries of partial funding from the FDATIC.

Who can apply? Only corporate bodies working in television or film production and of ALGERIAN NATIONALITY can receive financial support from the FDATIC. Foreign citizens residing officially in Algeria and who have been working in the film or television field for more than 5 years can be assimilated to Algerian citizens and thus benefit from this support.

Conditions and obligations Every applicant to FDATIC financial support must register at the "Conseil national de la cinématographie et de l’aide aux projets audiovisuels" (part of the Ministry of Communication and Culture), at least three months prior to the planned shooting date.

The support may be given as a loan or a grant. The conditions and details of each loan are determined by agreement between the "Conseil national de l’audiovisuel" (National Audiovisual Council) and the legal representative of the producer making the request. In the case of grants, once the approval is received, the payment is made in three parts: 40% upon signature of the agreement, to help the beneficiary start producing his/her film, 30% when shooting starts and 30% at the end of shooting.

The BAL aims at supporting the development and production of Latin American cinema.

The Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF) supports audiovisual production in, as well as international co-productions with Flanders. The Fund was set up by the Flanders government in 2002 and is headquartered in Brussels. The aims of the Flanders Audiovisual Fund are threefold: to develop a sustainable audiovisual industry, to encourage and support upcoming audiovisual talent and to promote a vibrant audiovisual culture in Flanders. VAF accomplishes four main tasks. It provides financial support for audiovisual productions and promotes these in Flanders as well as abroad. The Fund also grants scholarships, finances professional training and supports/organizes workshops as well as carries out surveys on the audiovisual field.

1.Production The Flanders Audiovisual Fund annually receives a €12.5 million grant of the Flanders government. A minimum of 78% of the annual budget goes to production support. Filmmakers can apply for support to fiction, documentary, animation and experimental media production. VAF distinguishes four types of support: scriptwriting support, development support, production support and support towards promotion. All funding applications are examined by reading committees, the members of which have critical skills and a thorough knowledge of the audiovisual field. These committees give their recommendations to the Board of Directors, which has the final decision.

2.Promotion Flanders Image is a division of the Flanders Audiovisual Fund, taking care of the promotion of Flanders audiovisual productions in Belgium as well as abroad. By combining the three key elements of filmmaking – development, production and promotion – VAF is able to execute a coherent audiovisual policy and back Flanders audiovisual productions with solid promotion. Flanders Image attends a large number of festivals and markets, such as Rotterdam, Berlin, Cannes and MIP and organizes and/or participates in film events abroad that are aimed at supporting Flanders audiovisual productions.

3.Training A considerable part of the Fund’s annual budget (€1 million) is reserved for professional training. The Flanders Audiovisual Fund grants scholarships, finances professional training and supports/organizes workshops. It allows young filmmakers to gain experience and confidence in filmmaking and gives audiovisual professionals the opportunity to specialise.

4.Research The Flanders Audiovisual Fund also reserves a modest budget for research related to the audiovisual field. Its focus is on practical surveys.

PRODUIRE AU SUD WORKSHOP

PRODUIRE AU SUD is a workshop focusing on the outline and structure of film co-production within the industry. The workshops aim to familiarize young producers based in the south: Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Near and Middle East and Central and Eastern Europe with a variety of important tools. The PRODUIRE AU SUD workshop was created in 2000 in Nantes, in order to support the creation of a network of young producers from ASIA, AFRICA AND LATIN AMERICA and lay the foundations for lasting cooperation between European film professionals and emerging professionals from the South.

Produire au Sud is a 8-day training workshops that proposes: a production workshop: a 3 days master class with European professionals: introduction to co-production, co- production contracts, fundraising, international sales, specific case studies ; a marketing workshop: pitch training and a public presentation of scripts and projects to potential producers; a scriptwriting workshop: 2 days of individual analysis and appreciation by scriptwriters and producers familiar with co-productions and international sales issues. International professionals run the workshops: producers, legal experts, distributors, sales managers, specialized TV channel staff members, and European scriptwriters.

Without any doubt PRODUIRE AU SUD workshop is now one of the places in the world where a large contribution to tomorrow's best cinema is taking place. While the Nantes workshop has become, over the years, a key rendezvous, PRODUIRE AU SUD workshop, in partnership with international film festivals, is also present abroad (PRODUIRE AU SUD Buenos Aires, Bangkok, Salvador de Bahia, Beirut, Durban...). Each year the hundreds of applications demonstrate the success of the PRODUIRE AU SUD workshop.

LES 3 CONTINENTS has created a quality label and established a group of selected professionals whose common ground is their love for the cinema, commitment to a high standard in film production, and an enthusiasm for creating new synergies in the field.

The first edition of the FINAL CUT IN VENICE workshop will take place on August 31, 2013 during the Venice Film Market of the 70th Venice International Film Festival (Lido di Venezia, August 28 – September 7, 2013).The Festival’s purpose is to provide concrete assistance in the completion of African films and to offer producers an opportunity to present films still in the production phase to international film professionals and distributors in order to facilitate post- production and promote co-production partnerships and market access.

The workshop consists in one day of activities, in which the working copies of a maximum of four selected African films (see articles 5 and 6) are presented to producers, buyers, distributors and film festival programmers. Networking, encounters and meetings will allow directors and producers to interact directly with the workshop participants. The workshop also includes screenings of material of the selected films in the presence of the directors and producers. Only accredited sector professionals will be allowed to attend the screenings: producers, distributors, operators, buyers, festival programmers, representatives of the institutions and others invited in advance by the Festival management.

Selection Criteria All films presented must be in post-production and made exclusively by African directors or directors of African origin. Only feature fiction or feature art-house documentary films (minimum length of each film: 60 minutes) will be considered. It is preferable if a complete working copy of the film is sent. Should the film still be in an initial editing stage, a series of edited sequences will be accepted (totaling at least one-third of the overall anticipated length of the film), accompanied by the director’s statement of intent and a film treatment.

Awards The workshop will conclude with the awarding of prizes, in kind or in cash, for the financial support of the films in their post-production phase: - up to € 16,800 offered by Cinemage/Groupe Image (Paris) for digital color correction, corresponding to 7 work days (56 hours, including technician) - a discount of € 15,000 offered by Mactari Mixing Auditorium (Paris) for the sound mix; - € 10,000 toward post-production costs in France, offered by CNC - Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (Paris) - the printing of a 35mm copy (without subtitles) or participation in the cost of making a DCP, offered by the Festival International de Film d’Amiens; - the printing of a 35mm copy (without subtitles) or participation in the cost of making a DCP, offered by the Festival International de Film de Fribourg; - up to € 6,000 to make a master DCP and French subtitles, offered by Titra TVS (Paris).

Produire au Sud workshop – G. Mainguet, C. Lajoumard, P. Avril - 26/06/13 – p. 62 Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America have received support.

Produire au Sud workshop – G. Mainguet, C. Lajoumard, P. Avril - 26/06/13 – p. 63 SØRFOND, Norwegian South Film Fund – Norway (Norvège) Fictions & Documentaries

The new Norwegian film fund SØRFOND, financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and managed by the Norwegian Film Institute, will contribute to the completion of films from Southern countries. Following a large and positive interest among international filmmakers, SØRFOND has, in its first ever funding-round, awarded NOK 4 million (around € 530,000) to seven different projects.

Strengthening freedom of expression Following an initiative by the Films from the South Foundation, SØRFOND was established in 2010. The fund aims to support film production in countries where such production is limited by political, economic or social causes. The fund will help to strengthen film as a mean for cultural expression, promote diversity and artistic integrity on the international film stage. A unique feature of SØRFOND – in comparison with other similar European funds – is that it focuses in priority on freedom of expression while assessing the applications.

International networking The first round of applications confirmed that there is great interest from Norwegian producers and film professionals to create contacts outside Europe and North America. The hope is that new international contacts can contribute to an increased internationalization of Norwegian producers, and provide inspiration for new ways to tell local stories.

Guidelines The guidelines apply to grants for the production of films with a main producer based in a country on the OECD's current list of countries and territories eligible to receive assistance (DAC-list), and a minority producer established in Norway. The application has to concern a film with the main producer established in a country on the DAC-list. In addition, the director must have citizenship from, or be resident in, a country on the DAC-list. The film must, for the most part, be shot in a country on the DAC-list. In exceptional cases, derogations may be made regarding the establishment of the main producer in a country on the DAC-list, if, due to political reasons, the film cannot be produced in such a country.

The National Film & Video Foundation provides film and video-related funding in four broad categories: Education and Training, Development Funding, Production Funding, Marketing and Distribution.

What form does funding take? Funding may take the form of a grant, investment or loan depending on the type of application and project. In addition to financial assistance, other forms of support will be made available once the NFVF has established appropriate support mechanisms. Funding allocation to selected projects will vary according to the specific cash flow needs of the project.

Development Funding Foundation will consider contributing development funding to projects in the following categories: Feature-length and short films, Documentaries, Animation and Multimedia. The Foundation considers development funding as an investment and will set in place mechanisms to recoup all of its development expenditure with interest on principal photography when the project enters the production phase. If a project fails to be realised, the Foundation reserves the right to be reimbursed.

Who can apply ? Independent production companies or writers may apply to the NFVF for development funding. In the case of writers, the NFVF may assist the writer to find a producer. Companies that apply for development funding must hold exclusive rights or options for at least 24 months.

The following genres will be considered for production funding: Documentaries, Features, Short and specialised film and video productions, Animation, Multimedia projects that have an audiovisual component

Who can apply ? South African-owned production companies that have reasonable experience may apply for production funding in any of the above-mentioned genres.

FILMS IN PROGRESS (in partnership with Cinelatino, Rencontres de Toulouse)

Created in 2002 thanks to collaboration between the San Sebastian Festival and the Cinélatino, Rencontres de Toulouse, the Films in Progress section was born with the intention to back Latin American film production with aid to the completion of films at the post-production stage. A series of titles from Latin American countries selected by both festivals are presented to a group exclusively made up of industry professionals. Ever since its first edition, Films in Progress has permitted the completion of outstanding Latin American films which have subsequently been presented and often won awards at major international festivals. Some of today’s most highly reputed Latin American filmmakers have participated in the section: Ana Katz, Celina Murga, Tristán Bauer, Federico Veiroj, Julio Hernández Cordón, Rigoberto Perezcano, Jorge Durán, Ciro Guerra and Sebastián Silva, among many others.

This professional initiative celebrates two calls each year: Toulouse in March and San Sebastian in September. The films, rigorously selected by the selection committees of both festivals, are presented to an international group of professionals capable of contributing to their completion.

In both calls the films are jointly selected by the selection committees of the San Sebastian Festival and of the Cinélatino, Rencontres de Toulouse. A final selection of 6 films for each call will be chosen from the candidates submitted. The organisation reserves the right to increase this number where it deems appropriate. A film can be selected for a maximum of two Films in Progress calls.
