Screen Malta, as it has been called, is a joint initiative of the Ministry of Tourism and the Malta Film Commission.
It will help productions of up to €600,000.
In considering funding, Screen Malta will factor in creativity, cultural and economic input and skills development.
Applications remain open till the end of September. More details at www.maltafilmcommission.com.
