An important part of the department's activities is assistance in organizing student participation in film festivals. FAMU maintains cooperation with a number of leading film festivals and in long-term ensures the participation of students at the Berlinale and Cannes. Specific conditions of participation can be found on individual sub-pages.

BASIC CONDITIONS

  • The student applies based on public calls (and their specific conditions)
  • The participant must be a full-time student
    • it is possible to travel as part of a waiting for final exams or individual study plan
    • NOT as part of an interrupted study

FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION

Unless defined otherwise, festival visits are covered by the Erasmus+ program.

The EU defines the basic rules for determining the amount of financial contributions. The contribution is understood as financing covering the increased living costs abroad, it is not a scholarship covering all the costs of a stay abroad and the financial participation of the student is assumed. Based on the conclusion of the participation contract, the student receives a contribution that is the same for all students leaving the Czech Republic.

The amount of the monthly contribution is fixed by the duration:

 

  • up to the 14th day of the activity – EUR 79 / day
  • from the 15th to the 30th day of the activity – 56 EUR / day
  • The financial contribution can be further increased through INCLUSION support.

Contribution to travel costs:

 

"distance: allowance for environmentally unfriendly travel (Green Erasmus - alternative allowance for environmentally friendly travel)" – the distance is calculated by the EC calculator.

 

  • 10 - 99 km: EUR 28 (EUR 56)
  • 100 - 499 km: EUR 211 (EUR 285)
  • 500 - 1 999 km: EUR 309 (EUR 417)
  • 2 000 - 2 999 km: EUR 395 (EUR 535)
  • 3 000 - 3 999 km: EUR 580 (EUR 785)
  • 4 000 - 7 999 km: EUR 1188
  • 8 000 km or more: EUR 1735

 

  • Up to 500 km, the participant will travel as a "Green Erasmus."
  • To receive the Green Erasmus financial support, it is necessary to fill out an affidavit that the journey there and back will be made in an environmentally friendly way (airplane and boat travel are excluded) and provide travel documents.
  • Participants can receive 2-6 funded days for travel (subsistence costs).
  • If the financial contribution does not cover 70% of the travel costs, it is possible to apply for a contribution for exceptionally high travel costs.

If the number of days in the delivered After Mobility confirmation differs significantly from the data in the participation contract, the rectorate will calculate a proportional part of the financial contribution that the student will return.

 

  • If there are supposed to be credits recognized for the short-term mobility, student must complete the Proof of Recognition form (see list of documents). The completed and signed Proof of Recognition form is handed over by the student to the head of the foreign department within 14 days after returning from the study exchange.

Fulfillment of the study plan from the Learning Agreement and the recognition of individual subjects is assessed by the Head of the department or Vice-Dean for Study Affairs in accordance with the student's study program. Afterwards the Registrar Office of the faculty enters the recognized subjects and credit assessment in the KOS study information system. Credits can only be recognized if this was specified when signing the Learning Agreement before departure.
