The Iraqi Film Fund aims to establish a strong cinematic foundation in Iraq by supporting the film industry and enhancing the infrastructure of the cinematic sector. The initiative seeks to build an integrated cinematic system that includes professional, technical, and logistical development across all stages of production, helping to establish an independent and robust Iraqi film industry. The primary focus of the initiative is to create solid professional foundations for filmmaking and provide filmmakers with the essential resources to help them deliver high-quality projects.

Additionally, the initiative aims to stimulate both local and international investment in Iraqi cinema by providing funding grants for cinematic projects that contribute to the development of the local market. In the long term, it strives to strengthen international collaboration and open doors for cultural exchange with the global film industry. All of this aims to achieve sustainability and continuous development of the film sector in Iraq, enabling it to compete in global markets.

Through the Iraqi Film Fund, we are working to establish a comprehensive film industry that encompasses all production elements, from writing and directing to distribution, while ensuring the provision of a supportive and encouraging environment for filmmakers from all disciplines.

The Cinema Support Initiative seeks to assist Iraqi filmmakers in the current phase by providing production funding grants, offering them the opportunity to realize their cinematic projects. This initiative aims to strengthen the film sector in Iraq and create job opportunities for thousands of individuals working in the field of filmmaking and cinematic arts.

In the future, the scope of the initiative will be expanded to include professional and technical support for cinematic projects, such as artistic guidance, professional mentoring, and the provision of appropriate infrastructure. Additionally, the initiative will work to offer necessary logistical support, such as expediting approvals and facilitating communication between the state, government institutions, and filmmakers, to ensure that projects proceed smoothly and efficiently.

The initiative also aspires to develop sustainable funding platforms and expand opportunities for international collaboration with global cinematic institutions and private sector entities in Iraq, the region, and worldwide. This will help to enhance the sustainability of the film industry in Iraq and enable its growth both locally and internationally.

Through these integrated steps, we aim to build a strong, institutionalized film sector in Iraq, capable of competing with global projects and contributing effectively to the promotion of Iraqi culture, particularly its cinematic presence, on the global stage.
