Mapping of Film and Audiovisual Public Funding Criteria in the EU (by European Audiovisual Observatory)
Share
Description
The European Audiovisual Observatory (EAO) has carried out this mapping at the request
of the European Commission (MEDIA sub-programme), analysing the funding criteria in
public national/federal and regional film and audiovisual funds’ schemes within the EU.
The analysis is circumscribed to pre-production (script development, project
development), production, distribution and promotion schemes for theatrical films, TV
films, TV series, and other audiovisual content at national and regional levels.
The analysis builds upon two documents – a national factsheet and a national
overview table (matrix), based on the feedback of national experts for each of the 28
countries tracked. The national overview table is a spreadsheet with key information and
indicators for the schemes of the main funds in the country, including, inter alia, the
country/region of establishment of the applicant, the aid intensity levels, the existence of
a cultural test/assessment or the existence of linguistic requirements.
