All eligible Alberta artists and arts organizations are encouraged to apply for an Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) Film Grant. We are proud of Alberta’s artists, and we are especially proud to provide behind-the-scenes support to the arts. We acknowledge the power of creative activity to inspire minds, encourage expression, improve quality of life and contribute to the province’s economic prosperity. Grant deadlines vary throughout the year.
Unleash your creative potential with an AFA grant and see where the arts take you. Choose an individual project grant, or an organization operational or project grant.
The purpose of the AFA’s Individual Artists Project Grant program is to support the development of individual Alberta artists, arts administrators or an ensemble of Alberta artists by providing a grant for a specific arts-related project.
The AFA Film and Video Arts Project Grant supports the growth and development of individual Alberta artists, arts administrators, or an ensemble of artists by providing a grant for a specific film and video arts project to be completed over a specific period of time.
The film and video arts are defined as independent and artistic works in film and video produced by individual media artists. Independent works are those over which individual artists maintain complete creative and editorial control. Please note that this stream does not support work involving any incorporated organization or company and/or projects for the cultural industries of commercial film and television.
