MOIN Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein

The MOIN Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein is the central film funding institution of the two states Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. Founded in 2007 through the merger of FilmFörderung Hamburg GmbH and MSH – Gesellschaft zur Förderung audiovisueller Werke in Schleswig-Holstein, the organization carries the claim "Moving Images North" and is based in Hamburg.

The MOIN Filmförderung supports feature films, high-end series, and innovative audiovisual formats of all genres. This support ranges from the first draft of the screenplay through production to distribution, rental, and festival presentation. The spectrum also includes short films and innovative audiovisual formats that are promoted through special committees[2][4][5].

The main mission of the MOIN Filmförderung is to be the best possible partner for the moving image industry in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein and to bring the best films and series to the North. The organization places great importance on the content or innovative quality of the projects as well as a comprehensive connection to the regions of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. This includes using the regions as filming locations and involving local professionals and film technical companies[2][4][5].

The MOIN Filmförderung is committed to various sustainability and diversity initiatives. The organization promotes environmental awareness, diversity, and transparency within the film industry. It offers events and seminars on industry-relevant topics such as financing, law, and digitalization, and supports the development of international co-productions. Furthermore, the MOIN Filmförderung is networked with international partners and helps filmmakers connect with foreign producers[1][3][4].

The MOIN Filmförderung is supported by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and the State of Schleswig-Holstein as shareholders. Approximately 15.8 million euros in funding is available annually, provided by various partners such as NDR, ZDF, and from broadcasting fees. Four committees, consisting of experienced industry experts, decide on the allocation of funds[4][5].

The MOIN Filmförderung offers comprehensive service and consulting services, particularly through the Film Commission, which has offices in Hamburg and Kiel. This commission advises producers on filming in the northern region, assists with location scouting, and connects them with industry professionals, authorities, and service providers[4][5].

With its comprehensive support and initiatives, the MOIN Filmförderung plays a central role in promoting and developing the film and television industry in the regions of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein.
