Wallimage Coproductions

Our aim is to support producers in an often costly development phase that could enable them to direct a work towards a potentially larger audience, in Belgium and abroad.

To enable this kind of qualitative progress, we need to be able to pay good scriptwriters, co-writers and relevant script doctors, set up targeted economic feasibility and marketing studies, and develop professional pre-posters and hard-hitting teasers to tackle international markets head-on. That’s where we come in, to support project leaders with this fund, partly financed by co-production revenues.

Wallimpact is supported by Wallimage Entreprises, which underlines its ambition and its purely economic dimension. It is based on two annual sessions. Belgian producers can submit a file, which will be analyzed and discussed by a jury made up of Wallimage members, as well as outside professionals, who will give priority to examining the commercial potential of the files submitted.

At the end of our deliberations, one or two projects will be boosted with an investment of between €50 and €100K per project.

This is an advance that is conditionally recoverable when the project goes into production.

Since 2017, Wallimage has been co-financing pilots for flow television works (unscripted programs).
This involves granting a conditionally recoverable advance to a producer to enable him or her to put into images a concept that will have been judged original and promising.
This investment must be entirely spent in Wallonia with technicians or companies specialized in the audiovisual sector.
Since 2022, Wallimage has partnered with two of themain French-speaking national broadcasters to boost this line, and now organizes a call for projects with RTBF and a call for projects with RTL Belgium.

Wallimage co-finances VR / AR projects.
They are analyzed according to a specific approach in order to understand their economic impact, the contribution they make to the technicians and companies that produce them, and their potential for exploitation.

Procedure

Have you been a producer for at least a year and are you planning to spend money in Wallonia on technicians, actors or the audiovisual industry?

Are your expenses over €75K and have you secured more than 50% of your financing? Then you can probably submit an application to one of our five funding sessions via our application. These sessions are generally held in January, March, June, September and November.

Each dossier is analyzed from various economic angles (quality of Walloon expenditure, personnel and companies involved, commercial potential of the project, etc.), the green investment of the production, the history of the producer…

XR files compete with other files in the session in which they are submitted. The result is an internal session rating and ranking: the best projects are retained up to the limit of the available investment sum.
