Regional fund Italy, Bologna

Fondo per l'audiovisivo della Regione Emilia-Romagna (development and production calls)

Run by Regione Emilia-Romagna, through Emilia-Romagna Film Commission

Since 2016 the region has funded development and production under its own film law, and it keeps a public catalogue of every supported work, with the development projects listed by company and year. Writers get in through a producer. A writing line for regional authors was not found on the pages read.
