Media professionals from all over the world, such as writers, directors, producers and animators, can submit their current feature film projects for the Nipkow Programm in Berlin, Germany. The selected participants must complete their fellowship between 1 June and 30 November 2025.

In addition to one-to-one mentoring, fellows attend bespoke training seminars on various aspects of packaging, promotion, sales and new technologies.

Whether they are working on a feature film, documentary, series, animation or trans-media project, the emphasis of the programme is on project development, with the ultimate aim of initiating international co-productions and promoting their worldwide distribution.
