Creative Europe - MEDIA sub-programme

Creative Europe is the new framework programme for the Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) for 2014 to 2020. With a budget of €1.46 billion over the next seven years – 9% more than current levels – the programme will provide a boost for the cultural and creative sectors, which are a major source of jobs and growth.

It will bring together the current Culture, MEDIA and MEDIA Mundus programmes and create a new set of programmes to improve access to finance:

• Cross-border cooperation projects between cultural and creative organisations within the EU and beyond.
• Networks helping the cultural and creative sectors to operate transnationally and to strengthen their competitiveness.
• Translation and promotion of literary works across EU markets.
• Platforms of cultural operators promoting emerging artists and stimulating a truly European programming of cultural and artistic works.
• Capacity building and professional training for audiovisual professionals.
• Development of fiction, animations, creative documentaries and video games for European cinema, television markets and other platforms.
• Distribution and sales of audiovisual works in and outside Europe.
• Film festivals that promote European films.
• Funds for the international co-production of films.
• Audience development to foster film literacy and to raise interest in Europe’s films through a wide range of events.

Non EU countries like Iceland, Norway, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, and Serbia have full access to MEDIA-sub-programmes.

Georgia, Moldavia and Ukraine have access to Training, Festivals, Film Education and Market Access activities.
