Werkleitz offers grants for German Filmmakers

Werkleitz has at its disposal various funding schemes which enable it to support young artists both from Saxony-Anhalt and the international art world, whose work primarily addresses digital technology and new media. Artists in receipt of funding generally produce their projects in Halle (Saale), where the premiere presentation also takes place. These funding opportunities have given rise to new formats such as the Supported Artist programme, which have proved effective in establishing young artists’ careers. Grants and scholarships are awarded in cooperation with the respective funding partners such as the European Media Art Network or the Kassel Documentary and Video Festival.

DIGITAL OPEN CALL: $20K for Black Digital Projects from NBPC

From the National Black Programming Consortium
http://www.blackpublicmedia.org/for-producers

Your support and engagement with our summer of original content brought us a very fulfilling season. We hope you enjoyed Mondo Black, and Black Folk Don’t, and we hope you continue to engage with them, leave your comments, and join the conversation via Twitter and Facebook!

Both series were funded through our annual Digital Open Call; an interactive call for original web content focused on stories about the global black diaspora. Stories can be narrative, documentary, audio, video, etc, as  long as they present a unique opportunity for our audience to interact  around engaging subject matter.

And for the very first time this year we are opening up the call to include “serious games.” So come on down developers of mobile and web-based  games; an innovative new way to get audiences discussing truly important issues.

So are you a producer? Are you a  game developer? Do you want to see your own series on  BlackPublicMedia.org? Be sure to get your applications in, our deadline for the $20,000 digital grant is approaching on September, 26th!

Two projects will receive $20,000 each to make their ideas a reality, and  these projects will launch on BlackPublicMedia.org in the summer of  2012! Don’t waste any time, download the guidelines, and submit your online application.

ITVS Digital Distribution Survey

For the past three years, ITVS has asked independent producers about how they find and engage audiences.  “Television is still king” the Digital Survey 2009 says.  But other mediums are quickly catching up.  I just completed the 2010 questionnaire.  Look for the results soon.
