ACTIVITIES

The Institute pursue these aims through two main activities – The Screen Academy and The Film Fund.

The Screen Academy will offer high level professional courses in all key areas of specialisation within creative filmmaking and thus strengthen capacity building in the field of screen arts and techniques. Entry to the Academy will be based on merits, test and competition. Only mature students with practical film/TV experience and/or relevant studies in film as background will be considered.

The Screen Academy is in the process of developing its curricula. A date for first intake cannot be set yet as additional funding and sponsoring of scholarships need to be identified in order to secure sustainability.

The Film Fund offers production grants and possibly also development grants to young professionals who have already acquired enough experience to take a project through development to execution. The Fund will be able to provide cash grants as well as a combination of cash and access to recording and editing equipment.

The Film Fund started its activities in the autumn 2009.
