The Qatari Film Fund call for submission of shorts and features in development opens from 1st of August to 1st of September 2022.

The Qatari Film Fund offers support for the furtherance of the skills and accomplishments of Qatari filmmakers. The fund is committed to the development of up to four feature films, and the development, production, and post-production of up to eight short films annually.

Feature films developed through the fund are eligible for financial support for production, and one film will be selected for production funding in the following year. Projects are selected through two funding cycles per year.

Eligible projects are considered for funding in three stages:

• Stage 1: Please submit your project with the submission requirements as per the chart below by email to [email protected] Projects will be evaluated by a selection committee of Institute staff and external deliberators.
• Stage 2: If your project is shortlisted, you will be contacted for an interview to discuss your project. You will meet with Institute development, production, and post-production executives who will discuss development, production and post-production requirements.
• Stage 3: You will be notified whether or not your application is successful. If your application is unsuccessful, the Institute will offer, upon request, notes and feedback on your project and suggest development opportunities through one of the Institute’s Learning Initiatives. You may reapply for support for the same project in a later funding cycle should you wish.
  

If your application is successful, the Institute will collaborate with you on the development, production, and post-production of your project to its fullest potential.
