In a move aimed at fostering fresh narratives and widening regional participation in the local film industry, the Namibia Film Commission (NFC) has officially opened submissions for its 2025/2026 film project funding cycle.
In the quest to stimulate content production in the film industry, the Namibia Film Commission (NFC) opened its 2025/2026 funding cycle submissions. The call aims to support innovative film concepts from emerging Namibian filmmakers operating in the country with production funding.
