Canada and South Africa renew codevelopment incentive now open

November 2019 For the third year in a row, the Canada Media Fund (CMF) and the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), an agency of the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture of the Republic of South Africa, have renewed their dedicated incentive for the co-development of television projects between Canadian producers and South African producers.

To qualify, projects must involve producers eligible under criteria from both organisations. Eligible projects are television programs in the drama, documentary, children and youth genres. For further details on the program, including guidelines and key dates, please click here. South African producers can access NFVF's online application form by clicking here. Closing date for applications is January 24, 2020.

The total amount of funding available through the Incentive is approximately CAD $120,000 or ZAR 1,800,000 with each funding organization contributing half of the funds. The total maximum contribution for each project funded through the incentive is CAD $40,000 or ZAR 400,000.

The CMF and NFVF have since 2017-2018 invested $240,000 in the co-development of six audiovisual projects.

Finding an international partner

Producers interested in finding an international partner as part of this incentive are invited to post a profile of their company on the CMF's website by clicking here. Profiles will be accessible to all, including potential partners from other countries.
