Television Fund Austria

Fernsehfonds Austria supports the national production of television films, series, and documentaries with the aim of sustainably strengthening the Austrian media landscape. The fund awards direct financial grants nationwide to production companies, professional film producers, and individuals who have their headquarters or a clear project connection to Austria. With an annual budget volume of 13.5 million euros, the program assists creative professionals in realizing innovative television formats and making culturally relevant content accessible to a broad audience. The funding offer is open to companies of all sizes as well as to private individuals working in the fields of media, culture, and culture & media.

Applications for funding can be submitted year-round, ensuring flexible project planning. A prerequisite for funding is an Austrian headquarters or a verifiable project connection, as well as a concrete plan for the production of television films, series, or documentaries. For the application, the FERNSEHFONDS_Application_Form is required, and later for accounting, the FERNSEHFONDS_Final_Accounting_Form. The responsible authority is the Federal Ministry for Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport, which decides on the professional framework conditions. Through continuous funding, the program opens up diverse opportunities to actively shape the development of the domestic television landscape and bring artistic visions to the screens.
