Projects in post-production phase are eligible to apply for funding under the World Cinema Fund (WCF) Africa programme.

The World Cinema Fund aims to support films from regions/countries in which film production is threatened by political and/or economic instability. By receiving WCF support, these films can be produced with a German partner, which improves their chances of being seen by an international audience. The WCF also aims to nurture diversity in German cinemas.
