Filmmaker Assistance Program

Filmmaker Assistance Program est un programme de type subvention administré par National Film Board of Canada, offert aux entreprises de partout au Canada. 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.

Une subvention est non remboursable : une fois approuvée, elle n'a pas à être remboursée, mais la plupart des bailleurs exigent des rapports d'étape ou finaux.

Le programme est offert par National Film Board of Canada, un organisme non gouvernemental; les règles d'admissibilité et les périodes d'admission sont fixées par l'organisme plutôt que par un ministère.
