The Rotterdam Media Fund (RMF) focuses on encouraging media activities in the Rotterdam region. The fund is persuing a municipal policy that encompasses the development and promotion of a healthy economic climate for the film and media industry both city- and region-wide.

The fund provides facilities and financial support for feature films, documentaries, TV productions and other media productions that are produced partly or entirely in the Rotterdam area. The RMF is especially interested in productions that contribute to a long-term strengthening of the media sector. The Fund also develops relevant courses of instruction (postgraduate courses and workshops).

The RMF has set up a project known as Rotterdam Shorts to help Rotterdam filmmakers and production teams acquire experience. Every year five local production teams are eligible for a grant to help them produce a short film.
