Jan Vrijman Fund
The Jan Vrijman Fund gives financial support twice a year.
Application deadlines are January 15 and May 15
The Jan Vrijman Fund is looking for creative documentaries and documentary events in developing countries. When selecting projects, the fund strives to have a minimum of 18% of the selected projects from countries from the two left columns on the DAC list (Least Developed Countries and Lower Income Countries). Furthermore applicants should be aware that the fund’s current budget does not allow to select more than 8% of the projects submitted.
The JVF provides individual grants of up to €5,000 for script and project development, €17,500 for production and post-production, or €15,000 for other activities (distribution initiatives, documentary film festivals and documentary workshops).
