Claims Conference Film Production & Post-Production Grant

Overview
The Claims Conference, formally known as the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, administers a film grant program dedicated to supporting productions that address the Holocaust and its enduring legacy. This grant is situated within a broader institutional commitment to remembrance, education, and documentation, and it prioritizes projects that bring historical and testimonial material to public audiences through the moving image. The grant provides financial support for both production and post-production phases, with funding generally considered up to $25,000. While the exact number of awards and total funding pool are not specified, the program is open to applicants in the United States and globally, reflecting the international scope of Holocaust memory work. The Claims Conference seeks projects that demonstrate rigorous research, ethical engagement with survivor testimony, and a clear vision for reaching viewers. This opportunity is not a general film fund; it is specifically oriented toward narratives, documentaries, and other cinematic works that confront the Holocaust and its aftermath. The jury, composed of experts in film and Holocaust studies, evaluates proposals on historical accuracy, artistic merit, and educational impact. Successful projects often combine archival material with contemporary reflection, and they may span various genres, including documentary, narrative, and experimental forms.
