Costs & Financing

Costs covered by Documentary Campus
Documentary Campus bears the entire costs for the vocational training of the selected 15 participants. This includes:

  • Training in four workshops
  • 2 tutors per participant
  • Tutor visits
  • Internship in a European or North American production or distribution company (travel expenses, accommodation, market fees, etc.)
  • Staff, lecturers and organisational costs

This is made possible through the generous support of film funds, film institutes, broadcasters, companies and governmental bodies. As these monies partly have to be raised in the country or region of the participants’ origin, a few applicants might have to apply for development funding linked to their project. In this case Documentary Campus will support them.

Costs for the participants
During the compulsory four workshops, which will take place in different European cities, the participants will only have to cover costs for

  • Travel
  • Accommodation
  • Daily subsistence
  • Catering at the Open Training Sessions

Repayment
The project development and vocational training costs (up to 15,000 Euro per participant) will have to be repaid to the funding bodies when the developed project goes into production. The repayment is made out of the production budget. Therefore market-based project development costs are expected to be part of the final production budget.

Grants
Three participants from countries participating in the MEDIA Programme, who otherwise could not afford to take part, may apply for a grant to support their travel and accommodation costs during the four Masterschool workshops.
