01.04.2025 | Talent promotion by NDR, MOIN and nordmedia
New "Nordlichters" wanted: In 2025, filmmakers will once again have the chance to realise their fictional debut project as part of the talent promotion programme. 1.15 million euros are available per "Nordlichter" project.
The call for entries from NDR, MOIN Film Fund Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein and nordmedia Film- und Mediengesellschaft Niedersachsen Bremen begins on 1 April and the deadline for applications is 15 May. Further information, including the required documents, can be found at: https://www.nordlichter-talents.de/
It is important for the projects to have their own creative signature and a North German setting and/or story. At least two of the talented directors, scriptwriters or producers of each project should come from the north or be based in Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein or Hamburg.
The "Nordlichter" film projects require diversity in front of and behind the camera as well as green filming/stories. They will be shown on NDR television and in the ARD media library; festival and/or cinema exploitation is also possible.
Previous "Nordlichters" include the series "Festmachen" and "Player of Ibiza", both of which were honoured with a Grimme Award this year.
