The initiative aims to strengthen the financial capacity of companies and professionals in the sector, offering grants of up to €15,000 per project. These funds are intended for the production of new fiction, documentary, and animation works.
The application period will remain open until September 7. Eligible categories include feature films and series, covering fiction, documentary, or animation genres, with minimum duration requirements (60 minutes for individual works or joint series, and at least three episodes for series).
The subsidy program also covers the production of short films, with a maximum duration of 30 minutes, in fiction, documentary, or animation formats.
Excluded from these grants are projects by television operators or similar broadcasting services, as well as works with advertising, homophobic, xenophobic, political propaganda, hate speech, religious intolerance, or pornographic content. Projects that have already received funding for the same activity within the same fiscal year from the Cabildo, those lacking a 5% own contribution from the beneficiary, or those already publicly premiered are also ineligible.
Evaluation criteria will consider the project's cultural and creative value, technical and economic viability, promotion of the island's professional network, and gender equality policies.
Each applicant may submit one application per category, and the same project cannot be submitted for both. Furthermore, multiple applications for the same category through different companies administered by the same individual or in which over 50% of capital is held are prohibited. If selected for both categories, only the project with the highest score will receive funding.
Detailed information and application forms are available on the Cabildo of Gran Canaria's website, with documentation to be submitted via its electronic headquarters and Common Electronic Registry.
