Netflix Announces $500,000 Fund For Film And TV In Lebanon

Netflix has announced a Film and Television emergency fund set up in collaboration with the Arab Fund for Arts & Culture (AFAC) to help the hardest hit workers in the creative community. 



The amount of $500,000, will provide financial support to Lebanon’s film and TV community, crew, craftspeople and freelancers who are active in the television or film industry, and have faced economic hardship resulting from the disruption of normal life, halts in productions, and little to no opportunities in the Film and TV industry due to the impact of the global pandemic.

As of the 26th of October, members of Lebanon’s film community will be able to apply for the fund by filling out an online application form and providing supporting documentation including a list of the five most recent projects they worked on, two references, an overview of any other emergency support that they might have received this year and a brief description of the applicants’ challenges such as cancelled or delayed projects.
