The winners of these grants are selected based on their Final Film Pitch, a short presentation made to a panel of teachers and mentors. The best ideas, supported by the most prepared production materials, win the grant awards. This process mirrors the industry’s approach to film financing, where success often hinges on “the elevator pitch” to a panel of producers.
To be eligible for these Filmmaking Grants, students must maintain good academic standing in all their classes. Teachers vote on the best film ideas, and the winners are announced by our school’s Founder, film producer Viktor Krištof.
The jury, made up by your teachers and mentors
The exact number of student films that receive a grant varies depending on the number of students in a given academic year and is based solely on the jury’s decision. Some years we have 2 or 3 films which stand far above the rest and some years there are several films equally deserving of a grant. Each grant-winning film will receive a minimum of 5000–7500 CZK. The total amount distributed each year is a maximum of 75 000 CZK.
