immerse\interact grant scheme

The Immerse\Interact Grant Scheme is for the development, realization and distribution of artistically high-quality, immersive and/or interactive media productions by both independent and established producers.

The Grant Scheme is a collaboration between the Creative Industries Fund NL and the Netherlands Film Fund. The goal is to enhance cross-overs, including in digital culture, film and design, between both funds. Immerse\Interact explores the future of storytelling within the world of immersive media, like VR, MR and AR. Interactive media productions can also be supported.

Grant applications can be for artistic projects with a supporting cinematic component, in which storytelling, both fiction and non-fiction, in relation to interactive (web-based/mobile) or immersive technologies (XR, room-scale projections), is central.

Within Immerse\Interact, a grant can be provided for both development and realization. Per round, a development contribution can be allocated to a maximum of six project proposals. This is to maintain the balance in the development and realization budget within the round.
