New Grant: TUI Care Foundation Award of the World Cinema Fund

In 2024 the WCF and the TUI Care Foundation entered a collaboration to annually award one project with the newly established TUI Care Foundation Award of the World Cinema Fund.

Within the special programme of the TUI Care Foundation Award of the World Cinema Fund, movie makers from a WCF TUI Award eligible country (459 KB) are empowered through direct funding support to partially cover the production costs of their selected film. Additionally, the distribution of the awarded projects is supported by connecting them to the ecosystem of the World Cinema Fund and TUI Care Foundation. Moreover, awareness is created for the awarded creatives and the African film industry in general.

Projects eligible for funding should deal with the cultural identity of their regions/countries and should contribute to the development of the respective local film industry.

The main selection criteria is the project’s artistic quality. Preference is given to projects that tell strong stories, that are creatively and visually innovative, that have the potential to enjoy international success or to be a driver for developing film culture in their home region. Consideration is also given to projects of particular cultural and political relevance.
