Funding

Further support is made available for the funding of cinemas or the preservation of the film heritage. Apart from its own funding activities, the FFA also functions as a service provider, processing the film projects supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture & the Media (BKM) by processing its supported film projects.
