Published the new call ‘European Film Distribution’ of the MEDIA sub-programme of Creative Europe.

As stated in the call, ‘European Film Distribution’ aims to improve the circulation, promotion, online and theatrical distribution of European audiovisual works, within the Union and internationally in the new digital environment. The call, with a budget of € 33 million, aims to support international sales and circulation of non-national European works on all platforms (theatrical and online release), including through coordinated distribution strategies involving several countries.

The funded activities are divided into two phases:

  1. The generation of a potential fund, which will be allocated based on the company’s performance in the European market.
  2. The implementation of the action – the potential fund thus generated by each company must be reinvested in:
  • the co-production of eligible non-domestic European films;
  • the acquisition of distribution rights, for example through minimum guarantees, of eligible non-national European films;
  • the promotion, marketing and advertising on the market of eligible non-national European films.

The action has a maximum duration of 24 months.

Applications may be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on April 5, 2022.
