What is important when applying for film funding and what will change as a result of the reform of the Film Funding Act? Our workshop "Film Funding Now - BKM Short Film Workshop" revolved around these questions.
Our speakers Anna de Paoli and Caroline Kirberg, who are producers themselves and teach at renowned film schools, led us step by step through the application process for production funding from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM).
