MEDIA

MEDIA is a package of schemes for development, training and distribution. You can apply for grants (and interest-free loans in some cases) in all of these areas. You can also get onto a range of training courses for different levels of experience with like-minded professionals from all over Europe. And you can get to major industry markets and events at subsidised rates, with help and support when you get there.

Independent production and distribution companies can apply for development or distribution funding in the form of grants and interest free loans. Financial assistance is available for training providers and organisers of markets and festivals. Individuals may also benefit from subsidised places on training courses and international markets.

In short, MEDIA addresses particular areas of weaknesses in the European industry through a set of practical tools which help companies and individuals develop their businesses and skills.

Who can apply?
Practitioners in the audiovisual industry such as producers of film, television, animation, new media companies, distribution and sales companies and also 'enabling' organisations such as training bodies or film schools, promotional events or festival organisers.
