There will be two Calls-for-Proposal (CFP) in 2019 – a 1st CFP for the Production Assistance programme (P-Assist) and the New Talent Feature Grant (NTFG) applications. The 2nd CFP will similarly be for P-Assist, NTFG and the Southeast Asia Co-production Grant (SCGP) applications.
There will also be one CFP for the Short Film Grant (SFG).
The P-Assist programme focuses on generating a pipeline of Singapore projects and nurturing Singaporean talent in credited roles; the NTFG encourages first and second-time directors to launch their careers in feature filmmaking; and the SCPG emphasises on nurturing film talent in Singapore and the region to jointly develop quality Asian stories for the world.
The SFG seeks to fund budding talented filmmakers on their next short film. Applications for film projects are by CFP.
Interested applicants must send their completed proposal (including all required supporting documents) according to the respective guidelines to SFC@imda.gov.sg by the stipulated “Deadline for Submission of Proposal”. Please note that the IMDA/SFC reserves the right to not accept any submission that is late or deemed incomplete.
