Application procedure
Selection rounds take place twice a year, with application deadlines on March 1 and August 1.
The Hubert Bals Fund gives financial support twice a year. Application deadlines are March 1 and
August 1. All materials should arrive no later than 5 days after the deadline.
It is essential that the filmmaker be a citizen and live and work in a developing country as mentioned
in the DAC-List. Applications should be in English or in French.
The prime consideration of the panel that considers all the projects will be the artistic qualities of an
application.
The entry should be original, authentic and rooted in the culture of the applicant`s country.
The project should contribute to the development of the local film industry and local film-making skills.
For the Fund to participate in a project, there should be a strong possibility that the rest of the finance
can be found. Therefore applicants approaching the Fund should have other interested partners in
place.
Restrictions
The vision and talent of the filmmaker are essential for the fund when making its choices; therefore
we can only accept projects where a director is attached.
