2019 Taichung Action call for entry!

Taichung Film Development Foundation, to encourage excellent movie projects with great potential and expand the movie production scale in Taiwan, will also launch the “Shoot in Taichung - 2019 Film Production Subsidies”, mainly targeting feature films and animation feature films. The foundation starts receiving application for the subsidy today and application deadline is on June 21. All applications are welcomed!

Any feature film/animation feature film that is at least 75 minute in length, shot on 35mm movie film or with a film-grade digital camera with a plan for public showing and release can apply for this subsidy. In addition to production projects during the film preparation and shooting, the foundation now also allows post-production projects to apply for this subsidy as a way to improve post-production and marketing quality.

        Started from last year, “ Taichung Action” started taking applications, with the intention to subsidize excellent movie projects in Taiwan. Winning projects included Detention, which generated much interest both domestic and abroad, and Baryon, a Taiwanese original animation feature film. Both films will be in the theater in the second half of the year. Movies subsidized under this program will, based on the subsidy/budget ratio, attribute the same ratio of its revenue back to the “Shoot in Taichung” program, so that more excellent movie projects can receive the same subsidy in the future, which will be a positive influence for Taiwan’s movie industry.
