Hubert Bals Fund supports eleven film projects with grants for script development
The Hubert Bals Fund of International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) has selected eleven film projects that receive grants for script development. In its spring 2013 selection round, the fund gives €100.000 to projects from nine countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. This round, the Hubert Bals Fund (HBF) supports the development of new projects by filmmakers whose earlier, internationally acclaimed films were also realized with a contribution of the HBF. Alejandro Fadel from Argentina (Los Salvajes, IFFR 2013) is working on Civil Disobedience, a surreal story about love and salvation. Also, Rusudan Pirveli from Georgia (Susa, IFFR 2010) and Matías Meyer from Mexico (Los últimos cristeros, IFFR 2012) will receive support for their new films, and projects by Iranian directors Majid Barzegar (Rainy Seasons, IFFR 2011 and Parviz, IFFR 2013) and Shireen Seno from the Philippines (Big Boy, IFFR 2013) will receive grants. The HBF also chooses to support projects by new and promising filmmakers in this round, such as the feature debutTerritoria by Nora Martirosyan (Armenia), about three wanderers who explore the geographical, physical and political borders of the disputed Nagorno Karabakh region – where there is an airport, but no planes. In another debut, Land and Shade by Cesar Acevedo (Colombia), excessive sugar cane industrialization takes its toll on both the land and Alfonso's family. Boost! The complete Hubert Bals Fund selection spring 2013, supported with a grant for script and project development: Profile of the Hubert Bals Fund The Hubert Bals Fund is designed to help remarkable or urgent feature films by innovative and talented filmmakers from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe on their road to completion. It provides grants that often turn out to play a crucial role in enabling these filmmakers to realize their projects. Although the fund looks closely at the financial aspects of a project, the decisive factors to grant support remain the content and artistic value. Since the founding of the fund in 1989, more than a 1.000 projects of independent filmmakers from Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America have received support. Every festival, the HBF film that is best rated by audiences receives the Dioraphte Award of €10.000. The Hubert Bals Fund is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MEDIA Mundus, Dutch non-governmental development organisations Hivos, the Dioraphte Foundation and Lions Club L'Esprit du Temps. Grants and selection rounds This spring, the Hubert Bals Fund limited its support to contributions for Script and Project Development only. For the Fall selection round, the Fund will take submissions into considerations for both Script and Project Development and Post-Production or Final Financing. 27.05.2013 | Editor's blog Cat. : PROS
