UNIQA SEE FUTURE Foundation, in cooperation with Sarajevo Film Festival and Slano Film Days, launched a programme to support female filmmakers

UNIQA has launched a special support programme for women film artists within its UNIQA SEE FUTURE Foundation in cooperation with the Sarajevo Film Festival and Slano Film Days. The programme called “Female Filmmakers Support Programme” aims to support and empower women in film from six countries where UNIQA operates in Southeast Europe: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Romania and Montenegro. 

The objectives of the Female Filmmakers Support Programme are to develop and support women in the film industry from South East Europe in the production of independent film, to increase the representation and diversity of women in the regional film industry, to facilitate networking, skills development and funding opportunities for women in film.   

Female Filmmakers Support Programme (FFSP) supported by the UNIQA SEE FUTURE Foundation, is designed to support and promote women filmmakers in Southeast Europe by providing financial assistance for the production of their film projects, as well as to support the development of their careers through CineLink Industry Training and Skills Programme. 

The value of the Female Filmmakers Support Programme is EUR 150,000 for 2025. The Programme is approved for the next two years.

The initiative on the Female Filmmakers Support Programme was presented at this year’s 30th Sarajevo Film Festival.
