Purin Pictures 2023 Activities Fund to promote Southeast Asia cinema

Purin Pictures is calling for applications for their Activities Fund for film-related activities that promote Southeast Asia cinema.

Purin Pictures is a film fund that supports independent cinema in Southeast Asia. Started in 2017 under the Purin Foundation, they look for artists and organisations that are doing unique and essential work in a region that lacks adequate governmental support. Managed by Anocha Suwichakornpong and Aditya Assarat, their funding programmes cover film production, film post-production, and film-related activities.

The Activities Fund supports film-related activities (film screenings, workshops, festivals, etc.). The objective of the activity must be to promote Southeast Asia cinema, whether in the field of exhibition, distribution, or education. Unlike the production and post-production funds, the activity fund can be used for activities held outside of the Southeast Asia region as long as the primary objective is met.

The activity fund is a cash grant of up to 5,000 USD.
