47 audiovisual projects have been funded through the Apulia Film Fund 2025, for a total amount of 7,734,332.86 euros. This is what emerges from the evaluation results of the projects submitted under the Call for Applications promoted by the Apulia Region and managed by the Fondazione Apulia Film Commission under the ERDF ESF+ 2021-2027 Regional Programme, aimed at supporting the production of film and audiovisual works to be made entirely or partially in the regional territory.

Specifically, the funding concerns 16 fiction feature films, 2 television and web fiction works, 11 creative documentaries, 2 animation projects and 16 short films.

“The number and type of funded projects – declares the Regional Councillor for Culture and Knowledge Silvia Miglietta – reflect the variety of audiovisual languages and formats supported, from cinema intended for theatres to television and digital productions, up to documentary, animation and short film. The Film Fund confirms itself as a valuable tool to support the Apulian film industry, strengthen the local production fabric and enhance the professional skills and expertise present in the area.”

Meanwhile, regarding the Apulia Film Fund 2026, currently open and with a financial allocation of 5 million euros, a ten-day extension has been arranged for the submission of applications. The new deadline is set for 23:59 on Thursday 12 November 2026, instead of the previous deadline of 2 November. The extension, adopted by the Fondazione Apulia Film Commission following requests received from trade associations, responds to the desire to encourage the widest possible participation of interested companies. The procedures for submitting applications set out in the public call remain unchanged.
