The Hessen Film Fund (HFF), which consists of the Cultural Film Fund of the State of Hessen (HFF-Land) and the Hessischer Rundfunk Film Fund (HFF-hr), provides grants to support films of all genres, lengths and formats.

Production Support encompasses:
screenplay, production preparation, production, postproduction, distribution, scholarships for DrehbuchCamp (Screenplay Camp), student films.

Screening Support encompasses:
festivals, film series and events, cinema groups.

Three independent juries (HFF-Land, HFF-hr, HFF-Land-Screening) decide on the level of financial support. Their primary consideration is artistic quality and topical relevance. Projects must have a connection with the state of Hessen. A connection with Hessen exists if the applicant (director or producer) has the central focus of his or her work in Hessen, if the project was realized predominantly in Hessen, or if the subject involves the state of Hessen. All the funds awarded are grants that do not need to be repaid after the completion of the project.
