Open Call

Thanks to the new partnership, IMPACT ACCELERATOR will support 3 projects from 2024 through 2025 as the continuation of the SWISS FILMS pilot support measure New Audience, New Releases.

The call is primarily designed to support Swiss features (fiction or documentary) that plan an impact campaign abroad. The projects can be at any stage of the production but should have secured most of their production budget. They are looking for support to cover their impact campaigning costs.

EXTENDED DEADLINE: May 10, 2024.

The selection is decided by SWISS FILMS in collaboration with The StoryBoard Collective and will be announced beginning of June 2024.

Requirements:

• Creative author-driven feature films (over 60 min in duration) with strong international potential on a particular topic and a particular territory. 
• The projects should be aiming at a start of the impact campaign from the date of signature of the support and within 18 months after that date. 
• The projects should be interested in priority in securing partners on impact producing and in getting guidance from our main partner.

• Submission should be done by the producer. 
• The 3 selected projects will benefit of a coaching session with The Story Board Collective.
