The National Film and Video Foundation, an agency of the
Department of Arts and Culture provides film and video-related funding in the
broad categories of Education and Training; Development, Production and
Marketing and Distribution. As from April 1, 2016, the NFVF concluded a change
from four (4) cycles to three (3) funding cycles per year.
The change affects all the funding categories; Education and
Training; Development (of feature films, documentaries and TV Concepts);
Production (of feature films and documentaries) and Marketing and Distribution.
“After rigorous deliberations with both council and panel
members, the NFVF concluded on three funding cycles. The new cycle would
amongst other reasons, allow for more time for evaluations, and create a face
to face pitch environment for shortlisted applicants,” says Zama Mkosi NFVF
CEO. Ms Mkosi adds that the new funding cycle will respond to the dynamic
marketing and distribution environment in the film industry.
Individuals, companies and organisations may submit funding
applications to the NFVF in any of these funding categories. Specific
conditions are applicable in each funding category, and it is important for
applicants to take careful note of these conditions before submitting an
application.
To ensure smooth application process, the NFVF has
introduced an online application portal for the industry. All applications can
now be submitted on the following link https://nfvf.praxisgms.co.za/xaLogin/NFVF/reglogin.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fdefault.aspx
Applicants need to register online. For enquiries or any
issues related to the online portal, emails should be sent to feedback@nfvf.co.za For more information visit
