INTRODUCTION
                     Fund | Support | Connect
Creative Europe is the European Union Programme for the cultural and creative
sectors. Over a seven year period (2014-2020) the EU will invest ¤1.46 billion in
the audiovisual and culture sectors. The European Commission has proposed a
new Creative Europe Programme for the period 2021–2027

Creative Europe Culture provides funding to organisations in the arts, craft,
design, and heritage fields to work on projects across Europe, reach new
audiences, and develop skills needed in the digital age.

Creative Europe MEDIA supports European film and audiovisual industries in
the development, distribution and promotion of their projects. MEDIA also
offers opportunities to develop skills in traditional and new media technologies
as well as supporting European companies in targeting markets and networks
within and beyond European borders.

Since 2014, ¤11,175,380 million has been awarded to Irish companies through
Creative Europe MEDIA. This funding has helped to grow and internationalise
the Irish audiovisual sector by not only investing in the creation of international
projects through the Producer Support Schemes but also by giving Irish
professionals access to International markets and training.

    ¤6 million in MEDIA 1 (1990-1995)
    ¤8.2 million in MEDIA 2 (1996-2000)
    ¤9.5 million in MEDIA Plus (2001-2006)

TRAINING
Training Support scheme
MEDIA’s Training Scheme funding supports activities aimed at increasing
the skills and networking capabilities of professionals in the audio-visual
sector. Grants are offered to training providers to enable them to deliver
training activities for professionals at various stages of their careers.

Activities may take the form of workshops or online coaching sessions and
dissemination tools by using proven or testing new learning, teaching and
coaching methods and best practice dissemination.

Training Courses
Creative Europe MEDIA supports almost 50 high-level pan-European
Training initiatives each year. Since the beginning of the Creative Europe
Programme, many Irish professionals have participated in these courses
with a number of these benefiting from the Bursary Scheme that Screen
Training Ireland provides towards the costs of attending. These include
programmes from Training providers such as EAVE, Erich Pommer
Institute, La Femis, Eurodoc and Inside Pictures among others.

In Ireland, Screen Ireland has received ¤1,227,975 from Creative Europe for
the Screen Training Ireland training programmes, Screen Leaders and VFX:
Script to Screen.

The full list of Training Programmes supported may be found in the
Interactive Training and Networks Guide available at www.creative-europe-
media.eu
DISTRIBUTION
Cinema Distribution
MEDIA supports the distribution and broadcasting of fiction, documentary,
animation, and interactive programmes as well as European films on-
line, in movie theatres, and on television. Financial support is available
to European Cinema distributors for the distribution of non-national
European films under two support mechanisms:

   1. Selective Scheme. Irish distribution companies have received funding
   to distribute non-national European Films. Access Cinema, Wildcard
   Distribution and Element Distribution have received ¤74,600 since
   2014

   2. Automatic Scheme. Curzon Film World, Soda Pictures, Entertainment
   Film Distributors, Metrodome Distribution, Wiserealm, Element
   Distribution and Magnetes Pictures Ireland have received a total of
   ¤145,161 under the Automatic Distribution Scheme. The aim of the
   automatic support scheme is to support the wider transnational
   distribution of recent European films by providing funds to Distributors,
   based upon their market performance, for further investment in new
   non-national European films.

   The scheme also aims to encourage the development of links between
   the production and distribution sectors thus improving the competitive
   position of non-national European films and the competitiveness of
   European companies.

Promotion of European Works Online
This scheme supports the promotion of European Audiovisual works
online by supporting:
>> The digital promotion, marketing, branding, tagging and development of
   new offers by existing VOD services offering a majority of European films.
>> The preparation of digital packages facilitating the commercialisation of
   European audiovisual works on VOD platforms.
>> Innovative strategies for distribution and promotion of European audiovisual
   works, including audience development initiatives focusing on innovative and
   participatory strategies reaching out to wider audiences with European films.
>> We Love Cinema / Usheru received ¤194,520 for their Eurofilm Platform in
   2019
AUDIENCE | FESTIVALS
One of the priorities of the MEDIA is to support audience development
as a means of stimulating interest in and improving access to European
audiovisual works in particular through promotion, events, film education,
and festivals.

Film Education
The Film Education Scheme arose from the now discontinued Audience
Development Scheme. The Film Education Scheme supports projects
providing mechanisms for better cooperation between film education
initiatives in Europe with the aim to improve the efficiency and European
dimension of these initiatives and to develop new and innovative projects,
especially using digital tools. The target audience of the film education
initiatives must be young people under 19 years old.

The Scheme also supports projects providing mechanisms for increasing
the contribution of existing European films and audiovisual works to
education, including curated catalogues of films.

The Irish Film Institute were a minority partner in the European Framework
for Film Education Project with British Film Institute Royal Charter. This
funding was awarded under the Film Literacy strand of the Audience
Development Scheme.

Film Festivals
Every year, MEDIA supports over a hundred European Film Festivals
notable for their particularly rich and varied programme of European
films, their efforts to engage with the general public, and their activities
involving professionals in large numbers.

One of the priorities of this scheme is to support audience development
as a means of stimulating interest in and improving access to European
audiovisual works. Applications for festival support must include Audience
Development initiatives, in particular initiatives aimed at young audiences.

Cork Film Festival received ¤110,000 for 2018 and 2019 from Creative
Europe.
MARKETS
Access to Markets
The Access to Markets scheme supports organisations that propose events
and activities designed to promote European Audiovisual works and
facilitate access to markets for Professionals.

Galway Film Fair at Galway Film Fleadh has received funding totalling
¤371,750 in Creative Europe since 2014. In 2017, Irish company Park Films
were awarded ¤40,000 for Rangle, a digital platform with a mobile app
that connects productions with crews.

Creative Europe MEDIA provides an umbrella stand for European
professionals at major audiovisual markets such as MIP TV, MIPCOM,
the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlinale. Activities taking place in and
outside of countries participating in the MEDIA sub-programme may be
supported. Visit Media-Stands.eu for information on MEDIA stands at
upcoming markets.

Creative Europe directly supports special interest and thematic markets
such as Series Mania, CARTOON Forum and tailored events such as
the Documentary seminars coordinatedby the European Documentary
Network. Creative Europe also supports database and online tools such as
Cineuropa.
CO-PRODUCTION FUNDS

EXHIBITION

           EUROPA CINEMAS
           Supported by the MEDIA Programme,
           Europa Cinemas is a film theatre
           network whose objective is to provide
           operational and financial support
           to cinemas that screen a significant
           number of European non-national films.
