BerlinFilmMakers & Indiefilmtalk presents: Film Financing & Funding

BerlinFilmMakers & Indiefilmtalk presents: Film Financing & Funding – A Practical Overview for Filmmakers

Hey there,

Great film ideas rarely fail because of creativity – they often fail because of financing. But what funding opportunities actually exist? And why does film financing seem so complex to many filmmakers?

What to expect:

In this free workshop, Indiefilmtalks Yugen Yah will give a short introduction to the landscape of film financing and public funding. We will look at different funding models, explain why factors such as regional funding requirements, reference funding, and bureaucratic processes play such an important role, and discuss the typical hurdles filmmakers face when submitting projects.

Alongside a short input session, we will provide an overview of funding possibilities, and you will have the opportunity to work on your own project in small groups and search for suitable funding options. As part of the workshop, we will also introduce our community driven tool DEADLINER which is designed to make navigating funding opportunities easier for filmmakers.

The goal of the workshop is simple: to provide orientation and make the first steps into film financing a little less intimidating.

After the workshop part, there will be an open networking session where participants can connect with other filmmakers, exchange experiences, and build new contacts.

Schedule:

• 18:30 – Doors Open: Arrival and pre-networking.
• 19:00 – Workshop: Yugen Yah speech and interactive workshop in groups.
• 21:00 – Open Networking: Continue the conversation over drinks.

Limited to 60 attendees. Secure your spot to ensure you start the festival week with the right connections and a fresh professional look.
