Co-Production Prize for Young German and Eastern European Filmmakers

The Robert Bosch Stiftung issues three Co-Production Prizes for Young German and Eastern European Filmmakers. The prize, worth up to 70,000 euros for each selected project, is awarded in the categories animated film, documentary, and short film. Young filmmakers in the fields of production, directing, camera, and screenwriting are given an opportunity to explore the methods and creative styles of their partner country.

Eastern Europe prides itself on a significant cinematographic tradition, which evolves with stunning creativity under often difficult conditions. The Robert Bosch Stiftung promotes joint film productions to encourage lasting exchange and development of European cinema.

Partners of the Co-Production Prize are the goEast Film Festival in Wiesbaden, which hosts the award ceremony, and TV channel ARTE featuring at least one of the completed films in its program.

Eligible are joint production teams of young filmmakers from an Eastern/Southeastern European country (with exception of Turkey and Greece) and Germany. The young filmmakers should be between the ages 18 and 35. Applications must be made by teams, not individuals. The film should be produced in Germany as well as the partner country, stressing in particular the aspect of intercultural exchange.

The deadline for submissions was October 31, 2011.
