Cash flow Financing secures the necessary cashflow liquidity as long as the main financing funds have not yet been paid out.
Film productions are typically financed from several sources, including, for instance, through TV stations, subsidies as well as distributors and licensing companies. These funds are often received by producers at a late point in time. This programme provides cash flow financing in order to ensure timely liquidity for film and TV producers in the Berlin-Brandenburg media region and beyond.

Eligible applicants are production companies based in Brandenburg and Berlin or German production firms which implement a significant part of their project in the Berlin-Brandenburg media region.
Items eligible for support and subsidy
