Film- und Medienstiftung NRW is a regional media funder focused on strengthening the film and screen content ecosystem in North Rhine-Westphalia. It supports feature film development and production, screenwriting, graduation films, series pilots, and talent-fellowship programs such as the Wim Wenders Stipendium and Baumi Script Development Award. The funder appears to back both established producers and emerging creators, with an emphasis on projects that develop local audiovisual talent and production capacity.
Selective, invite-only project funding through multiple program stages, typically tied to development, production, or talent-support milestones rather than open general operating grants.
Most programs are invite-only and limited to North Rhine-Westphalia-based projects, so applicants should build relationships with the foundation early and align proposals to a specific stage such as development, screenplay, or production. Make sure the project has a clear regional connection and fit with one of their named program tracks before seeking consideration.
