Turkey is calling! For the 14th time, German and Turkish Executive Producers can submit their joint projects to the German-Turkish Co-Production Development Fund.

The German-Turkish Co-Production Development Fund was founded in 2011 by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, MOIN Film Fund Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein and the Istanbul Film Festival - Meetings on the Bridge. The aim of the fund is to strengthen German-Turkish cooperation and promote joint film projects between the two countries at an early stage of development.

Projects that have been successfully funded to date include İlker Çatak's drama "Yellow Letters" (photo), which was shot last year, and the film "New Dawn Fades" by Gürcan Keltek, which celebrated its premiere in Locarno in 2024.

The deadline for your application is 16 September 2025 - apply now with your German-Turkish project!

Projects are only eligible to apply once.

Here you will find all the important documents.
