Please note that grant installments can only be disbursed if the request form has been signed by an authorized representative of the applicant's organization (note: please do not submit invoices!).

• Second installment (2/6) at the start of shooting, after submission of a shooting schedule, overall schedule and treatment, the crew and cast list as well as the final version of the screenplay;
• Third installment (1/6) after completion of the television project, after submission of the final cost statement, acceptance confirmation(s) from co-financing television broadcaster(s) as well as two DVD copy of the completed project.
