National fund Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo
Run by Fondacija za kinematografiju Sarajevo (Cinematography Foundation, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Bosnia's federal film foundation runs one call a year that bundles everything, from a small screenplay development line a writer can claim as a natural person (BAM 3,000 to 6,000) to production money for features banded by budget. Windows are short, 15 days, and the calls arrive late, so the 2025 money was awarded in 2026.
