Support for digital experiences (XN) is intended for works that take into account the actions of spectators, whether to change the point of view (for example, immersive 360° films), influence narratives (interactive films), or any other form of interaction. Supported media range from traditional screens to new extended reality (XR) devices (VR, AR, or MR), or multiple devices in the case of transmedia projects.

  
**Evaluation criteria:**

* Artistic proposal and originality
* Innovative use of digital creation tools
* Potential to develop digital creation skills in French-speaking Switzerland
* Financial feasibility
* Production schedule (preference for projects completed within 2 years of decision)

  
**Additional notes:**

* Grants are in partnership with the SSR and may lead to a separate _Pacte_ contract after jury approval.
* The full requested amount must be allocated to Cinéforom in the financing plan. If SSR contributes, the plan will be adjusted later.
* Upon request, submitted projects may also be forwarded to **GIFF (Geneva International Film Festival)** for possible inclusion in XR Co-production Meetings and the Swiss Interactive Sessions (Geneva Digital Market)

The maximum funding amounts for the digital experiences program (Support aux expériences numériques – XN) are:

  
* **Writing & Research**: up to **CHF 25,000**
* **Prototyping**: up to **CHF 70,000**
* **Production (Réalisation)**: up to **CHF 130,000**

  
These grants are allocated at the discretion of the applicant (i.e. the production), but must not exceed these ceilings.

  
XR projects submitted to the 2nd session, if they wish, are eligible for the Focal Atelier Grand Nord XR Prize. This prize allows a team to participate in the Atelier Grand Nord XR organized by SODEC , with Focal covering accommodation and transport costs for one person from the production and the author. The jury will choose a project from among those interested in this partnership.
