An independent evaluation panel of professionals including foreign experts from the film industry are brought together to assess and review applications and to administer awards. Deadline for submissions is noon, 7 August.

The objective of the Malta Film Fund is to nurture and back the development and production of Maltese films (i.e. Feature Films, Short Films (production only), Creative Documentaries, and High Quality International TV Drama Series) which in turn contributes towards building an indigenous film industry.

The fund offers two funding strands, one for development (Writers’ Grant and Development Grant) and one for production, with a total budget allocation of €250,000.
