Who can apply?
The scholarship is open to individual filmmakers without necessarily having a production company. Funds will only be awarded to applicants residing and working in Skåne.

We do not require any previously completed film productions, but if such projects exist, please provide a link.
Who can’t apply?
The scholarship is not available for school projects or for students participating in film education (including projects run outside of school hours). You cannot apply for the scholarship if you are simultaneously seeking short film or documentary film funding from Film i Skåne with the same project.
Guidelines
The grant cannot be used for salaries, only other expenses connected with the film production (i.e. technology, transportation, set design). The scholarship cannot be applied for for project development, only for production.
What does the application need to include?
