INVESTMENT IN UK FILMS

European distributors and sales agents decide themselves which nonnational European films they wish to invest their MEDIA grants in.

In 2019 and 2020 non-UK companies were awarded grants totaling €5,098,976 to support the acquisition and promotion of 39 UK films in countries across Europe.

Due to a change in the reporting process for the Automatic Distribution and Sales Agents schemes in 2018, the full list of films supported was not available at the time of going to print.

Over the first five years of Creative Europe, UK films on average received support totalling €6 million a year and so we would expect the figure of €5,098,976 to increase to this level once the final reports are processed.
