INDUSTRY / MARKET Germanyby Olivia Popp03/10/2025 - With a total funding amount of €250,000 for 2025, the scheme aims to uplift sales companies and promote German films travelling around the globalSince 1 October, German Films Service + Marketing GmbH, also shortened as German Films, has been administering a new funding programme for German international sales companies, consisting of a total amount of €250,000 for calendar year 2025. The company also presents the annual Face to Face with German Films campaign, which highlights top emerging talent in the country. The goal of the programme is to uplift German sales companies and to “strengthen their international competitiveness and promote the export of German theatrical films”. However, as the new FFG does not allocate funding to sales companies, the new scheme administered by German Films further aims to fill this gap. According to German Films’ description of the funding scheme, eligible companies can apply once per calendar year for funding.
