Panel Discussion: All the Money for Culture

One World and the Institute of Documentary Film invite you to a panel discussion as part of the open programme of the East Doc Platform.

State funding plays a vital role in the cultural sector, especially in the world of artistic and documentary film. Whether it’s in production, distribution, or festivals, few in Central Europe can manage without government support. But what exactly are the opportunities available—not just for filmmakers, but also for the organizations and institutions that showcase their films to the public—when it comes to grants, funds, and subsidies? This panel discussion will explore the topic with representatives from various sectors of the film industry across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary, with a focus on the Visegrad region.

Event is in English only.

Free admission.

The discussion is organised in cooperation with the Institute of Documentary Film and the Association of Czech Film Directors, Screenwriters and Script Editors ARAS.

ARAS has long been committed to improving the conditions for audiovisual production in the Czech Republic; therefore, we are actively participating in this debate to jointly find ways towards a more sustainable and fairer support system.
