From October 2026, filmmakers from Canada, Germany, Ireland, Norway, UK and special selected teams from other countries who want to realise their debut, second or third feature film as a co-production can apply for the JETS Initiative. As in last years 20 – 24 potential film projects by qualifying filmmakers will be selected and the producer/director/writer teams will be invited to a pitching session for finding co-production partners during the 77th Berlin International Film Festival in 2027.

Deadline for submissions is the 14th December 2026 (except Canada). For further information, please send us an email to info@wepfilms.com with details of the project to receive our JETS Call for 2026 by email or check the websites of our main funders from the 8th of October 2026 onwards.

The JETS Film Initiative, organised by WEP Productions and JETS Filmverleih & Vertrieb, is funded by its main funders Telefilm Canada, nordmedia, HessenFilm & Medien, NL Picture Canada and other additional funders and supporters to be announced at later date.

Note: As we are currently in discussions with other participating countries and funders, additional filmmakers might attend in the JETS Initiative 2027. Final confirmation will be posted at the beginning of the New Year 2027.
