The National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), an agency of the Department of Arts and Culture, has announced its Quarter 2 (Q2) funding results. The announcement follows the NFVF council meetings that took place on 31 August and 10 September 2015.

Fiction funding - Production:

During the Q1 funding period, 14 production applicants were provided with funding for the 2015/16 financial year. The number of applicants funded during this cycle demonstrates that the NFVF has exceeded its funding targets by four, as the annual target approved for Fiction production funding is ten. Therefore, during the Q2 evaluation process, no Fiction production applications were assessed as the target for the year had already been met.

For Q3, the NFVF encourages interested applicants to apply for Development and TV Formats funding as funds are still available for these two funding categories. All applicants that have applied for production funding for Q2 are urged to apply in the new fiscal year (2016/17).

Non-Fiction funding - Development

Due to the amount of quality applications received during Q2, 18 applications were provided with Development funding. The annual target approved for Development funding is 15, this means three more applications were funded, resulting in the NFVF exceeding its target by three. Therefore for Q3 Non-Fiction funding, the call for applications are open for Production and Documentary Archive only.

Markets and Festivals Attendance funding

For the Markets and Festivals Attendance funding, the NFVF has exceeded its target for the financial year 2015/16. The annual target is set at 48, however due to the increasing number and quality of applications received in Q1 and Q2, the NFVF funded 64 applicants, exceeding the target by 16.

Q3 funding call for applications

The NFVF is therefore seeking applicants for the following areas of funding:

Fiction

o Development funding

o TV Formats funding

Non-Fiction

o Production funding

o Documentary Archive

Markets and Festivals Attendance funding

As the target for the year has been exceeded, the NFVF will only consider filmmakers attending the following festivals for funding:

Festivals, Marketing and Distribution funding

For these funding categories, the NFVF will still accept applications for Q3.
