The Zlin Region, whose rich history of film production dates back to the 1930’s and the founding of a film studio by shoe magnate Tomas Bata, opened a film office in 2016. The city of Zlin is also home to the world’s oldest children’s film festival as well as a film school.

The fund will support the production of feature, animated and documentary films, and TV series, for distribution in cinemas and for broadcast. The maximum grant per project is 2 m CZK.

The programme is being handled by the Zlín Film Office, under the management of Magdaléna Hladká.
