SF_AiD
A program to support outstanding science documentaries
SF_AiD is intended as distribution support for completed science film documentaries, which fulfil requirements as there are transmission quality in picture and sound, scientific accuracy, originality, new interesting content, compelling storytelling.
The aim of SF_AiD is to assist filmmakers and producers in the early stages of bringing their completed film to the audience and the TV market. We want to increase the supply of high-quality documentaries to revive the European Science Film market.
SF_AiD starts where directors and producers are usually forced to work on their own and supports them to the point where the documentary enters the professional film market.
Submission deadlines 2019 for SF_AiD:
- February 5, 2019
- May 7, 2019
- September 17, 2019
