Each year, the Robert Bosch Stiftung issues three Film Prizes
for international cooperation between young German and Arab filmmakers to
realize a joint film project. The prizes, each worth up to 60,000 euros, are
awarded in the following: categories short animated film, short fiction film,
and short or feature length documentary.
Eligible for the Film Prize are mixed teams of German and Arab filmmakers who
are in the beginning of their film career. Furthermore, the film should be
produced in both partnering countries, stressing in particular the aspect of
intercultural exchange.
To facilitate the team-finding process, Arab directors will be invited to the
Project Market Amman to meet German producers.
The Project Market Amman
From 23rd until 28th April 2017 the Project Market Amman, introducing the
Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung, takes place in Amman, Jordan in
cooperation with the Royal Film Commission – Jordan (RFC).
Up to twenty young directors from the member-countries of the Arab League are
invited to participate in the Project Market Amman to meet with up to fifteen
German producers. The Robert Bosch Stiftung will cover all costs of travel,
accommodation and catering.
During five days, a diverse program will offer filmmakers from the Arab
world and Germany various occasions to get to know each other, to introduce
each other’s work, to talk in detail about the directors’ project and to
exchange knowledge and experiences. Joint events and excursions will help
intensify the newly acquainted contacts.
The meetings between directors and producers do not necessarily have to
result in a partnership but will contribute to gain experience of an
international co-production market and extend the network. In case a team is
formed, the first step towards preparing for a joint application for the
following round of the Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung is created.
Who can participate in the Project Market Amman?
Arab directors (at the beginning of their career) and students or graduated
students from film and media academies, who are nationals and citizens of any
country member of the Arab League, can apply for the Project Market Amman, if
they have a project in development in one of the four categories (short
animated film, short fiction film, and short or feature length documentary).
Applicants must be able to communicate in English.

To participate in the Project Market Amman, filmmakers must register at the
Online Project Market www.onlineprojectmarket.de
and fill in and upload all requested data. As project information, a one-page
logline and synopsis or project description are required, as well as a link
to their recent film. A script or treatment should be available on request.

committee consisting of members of the RFC, experts from the Arab world and
