National fund Montenegro, Podgorica
Run by Filmski centar Crne Gore (Film Centre of Montenegro)
Montenegro's centre describes an annual call in three parts, script development, project development and production, but the 2026 call opened only production categories: features with debut, genre and low-budget strands, documentaries, minority co-productions and films already shooting. Companies apply, so a writer needs a registered producer. Decisions are posted as PDFs.
