MEDIA European Co-Development Call is Open
Creative Europe MEDIA's European Co-development call supports the co-development of one animation, creative documentary or fiction project for cinema, TV or digital platforms.
European Co-development funding supports to the development of a single project for commercial exploitation intended for cinema release, television broadcasting or commercial exploitation on digital platforms or a multi-platform environment in the following categories: animation, creative documentary, or fiction.
The project must be co-developed by at least two European independent production companies in two different Creative Europe countries, having signed a co-development agreement specifying the division of tasks and the collaboration on creative aspects.
The call funds audiovisual production companies to develop works with high creative value and cultural diversity and wide cross-border exploitation potential. Companies are encouraged to develop strong and innovative collaborations at creative and financing level. It's also important to present strategies for marketing and distribution from the outset of the development phase to increase audience reach at a European and international level.
Applications should also present adequate strategies to ensure a more sustainable and more environmentally responsible industry, and to ensure gender balance, inclusion, diversity and representativeness.
The deadline to apply for European Co-development funding is 6th March 2024.
