Production fund New Dawn aims to support diversity in the film industry, first deadline for submissions June 27
Nine European public funders have joined forces in the first stages of the fund. The first submission deadline is June 27, 2022.
On Sunday, May 22, 2022, at the Cannes Festival, nine European funds officially launched the fund New Dawn, aiming to support more diversity in the international film industry. The fund’s mission states that film makers shape the narrative of our time through their work, but this has mostly been possible for too narrow a scope of film makers. With the introduction of New Dawn the participating funds want to explore more ways to establish variety and representation. A vibrant, open and inclusive film industry with true diversity of perspectives and filmic expressions has relevance for everyone.
