TORONTO – The Canada Media Fund (CMF) and the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), an agency of the Department of Arts and Culture of the Republic of South Africa, have renewed their agreement to establish a dedicated incentive for the co-development of audiovisual projects between Canadian producers and South African producers.

The total amount of funding available through the incentive is approximately CAD $120,000 or ZAR 1,200,000 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 200,000.

Eligible projects include television programs in the drama, documentary, or children and youth genres.  To qualify, projects must involve producers eligible under criteria from both organizations.

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.  Further details of the program, including key dates, will be announced in the coming weeks.
