MARKETS, NETWORKS AND INDUSTRY EVENTS

The MEDIA sub-programme supports around 60 initiatives each year aimed at facilitating exchanges and increasing the circulation and visibility of European films on international markets.

The projects supported in under this scheme represent trade events and markets; online tools and promotional activities. The events support a range of disciplines across animation, creative documentary, virtual reality and international co-productions.

UK-based organisation Sheffield Doc/Fest received funding for the 17th edition of its flagship industry event, MeetMarket, intended for new documentary features and series. The event takes place in 2021 and runs in parallel with the Arts Talent Market for XR/ new-media artists.
