2018 Film Investment and Subsidy Enforcement Guidelines – Application Announcement

In order to promote Taiwan’s film industry and create an environment conducive to film production, the Foundation has formulated these enforcement guidelines and allocated budget to actively assist film production. Any film that has received the Foundation’s subsidy must deposit a percentage (calculated as subsidy/film budget) of its revenue to the dedicated bank account in the guidelines after the public performance of the film, which will be used to invest and subsidize films in future years. The subsidy, along with the production support resources from Taichung City, will further boost the development of Taiwan’s film industry.

Any film that is at least 75 minutes in length, shot on 35mm film or cinema cameras with a plan for public performance/distribution by any film production company registered in compliance with the regulations of the Republic of China can apply for the above-mentioned subsidy. To enhance post-production and marketing quality, in addition to pre-production projects, any film in its post-production stage can also apply for the subsidy.

The application period opens as of today and closes at 5:00 p.m. on October 12, 2018. All applications are welcomed!
