Public Grants (DFFF)

The Deutsche Filmförderfonds (DFFF) began operations on 1 January 2007 as a film sponsorship fund under the auspices of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. The DFFF makes some 70 million euros available each year for feature film production in Germany.

On application, every producer in Germany who makes a feature film will receive reimbursement of part of the production costs spent in Germany. This financial support can cover up to 20% of the approved production budget paid out in Germany. One of the prerequisites for this funding is to pass the cultural characteristics test, which can be found in our film-finance calculator.
