Funding is provided for innovative film and serial formats with high production costs and expenditure in Germany. This is to create a special incentive for digital film-making in Germany. The funding programme contributes to drawing the international film industry's attention to Germany as a place to realise film and serial formats and to making the country more attractive especially compared with other European countries.
A study on the economic significance of the film industry in Germany (in German) commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy shows the close link between the film industry and other sectors. Every euro of gross value added generated by the film industry results in €1. 6 of value added generated by the German economy as a whole.
Now that the German Motion Picture Fund has been running for several years, it is clear that the programme is a success. The German Motion Picture Fund initiated by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy has contributed to establishing Germany as a production location for high-end series.
