Project Market Amman - Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung
The Royal Film Commission – Jordan started in 2012 a partnership with the German foundation the
Robert Bosch Stiftung with the aim of supporting collaboration between young filmmakers from Jordan and the Arab world on one hand, and those from Germany on the other.
The Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung is coming to an end. For the last time, the Robert Bosch Stiftung will issue two Film Prizes for international cooperation between young German and Arab filmmakers to realize a joint film project. The prizes, each worth 60,000 Euros, will be awarded to short films (fiction, animation or documentary) or feature-length documentaries.
Due
to the global health situation, as a consequence of the spread of the
Coronavirus (Covid-19), this year’s edition of the Market will be organized as
an online workshop taking place from 15th to 17th July 2020.
Six
feature documentary, four short fiction, and two animation film projects from
Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Sudan, Syria, and Tunisia have been selected. The
diversity of topics ranges from representation of minorities to political
upheavals, women rights and generational challenges.
The
selected twelve Arab directors will have the chance to meet with twelve German
producers, with a strong female participation on both sides.
The meetings between directors and producers do not necessarily have to result in a partnership but can help them gain the experience of an international co-production market and extend their network. In the event that a team is formed, the first step towards preparing a joint application for the last round of the Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung is accomplished.
The communication language of the entire Film Prize program is English.
