The Board of Trustees of young German film based in the Schloss Biebrich in Wiesbaden in 1965 as a result of the Oberhausen Manifesto established to the "promote film-coming artists and to contribute to the artistic development of German cinema and to encourage them." Together with the German Federal Film Board (FFA) and the Film funding from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) is the foundation 's transnational federal film funding.

history

In 1962, a group of young German directors declared “Grandpa's Kino” to be “dead” and demanded new content and presentation methods for the film. The film funding institution Kuratorium Junge deutscher Film was founded as a registered association in February 1965 and converted into a foundation under civil law in 1982. Alexander Kluge's film debut Farewell to Yesterday was the first film in 1965 to be sponsored by the Board of Trustees.

The foundation is based on an administrative agreement dated May 18, 1982, in which the federal states committed to joint financing. In 1992 the five new federal states joined. Six years later, after a one and a half year restructuring phase, the foundation resumed active funding work and has been working with the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media (BKM) in the field of children's films since 2005 . The finance ministers of the federal states decided on September 8, 2005 to end the financing of Germany's oldest film funding institution by the 2008 budget year. Only because of massive protests by filmmakers from Europe was this project reversed. In 2010 the Board of Trustees celebrated its forty-fifth anniversary.

advancement

Funding focuses on talent and children's films . In addition to financial support, the focus is on intensive advice and project support from two project supervisors. In continuation of the successfully started path, the foundation has agreed on close cooperation in the field of children's films with the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media (BKM) since the beginning of 2005.
