“Critical to HanWay’s success has been our ability to consistently and dependably deliver support from Creative Europe to our distributors across the continent. As a British sales agency with deep European ties, we are building carefullytailored campaigns for European audiences and, thanks to Creative Europe, we have the resources to do so.”

DISTRIBUTION

The MEDIA sub-programme commits nearly 40% of its annual budget to helping European films travel across borders.

This is achieved through three funding opportunities: Selective Distribution, Automatic Distribution and the Sales Agents scheme.

All three schemes support distribution of European non-national films, i.e. those coming from a country different than that of the distributor or sales agent.

Due to recent changes in the reporting process the full list of films supported in 2019 and 2020 is not yet known.

Our overall totals reflect the data that was available at the time of going to print and as a result is subject to change.
