Filmmaker Assistance Program

Filmmaker Assistance Program es un programa de tipo subvención administrado por National Film Board of Canada, disponible para empresas de todo Canadá. Support for independent anglophone Canadian filmmakers.

The Filmmaker Assistance Program (FAP) is an initiative of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) that s designed to encourage and support independent anglophone Canadian filmmakers. Filmmakers can apply to receive post-production services at the NFB s headquarters in Montreal (Balmoral), or if they re unable or do not wish to travel to Montreal they can apply to have local post-production services reimbursed by the NFB (Local). This program offers selected filmmakers reimbursement in support of post-production costs. The maximum amount of support is $7,500 per filmmaker for short films and $15,000 per filmmaker for feature films (other lengths and formats are subject to capacity and filmmaker requests). If an application is accepted, support is provided through cash reimbursement to the filmmaker upon receipt of expense reports and proof of payment. The local reimbursement is not available to filmmakers based in Montreal. If you are in Montreal, we ask that you apply for the Balmoral option.

Una subvención no es reembolsable: una vez aprobada, los fondos no deben devolverse, aunque la mayoría de los organismos exigen informes de avance o finales.

El programa lo ofrece National Film Board of Canada, una organización no gubernamental; las reglas de elegibilidad y los períodos de admisión los fija la organización y no un ministerio.
