Call for proposals

Creative Europe programme - MEDIA Sub-programme:

“Support for Festivals” - EACEA/17/2017

 

Objective and description


Within the field of promoting transnational circulation, one of the priorities of the MEDIA Sub-programme shall be to support audience development as a means of stimulating interest in and improving access to European audiovisual works in particular through promotion, events, film literacy and festivals.

 

The MEDIA Sub-programme shall provide support for the following measures:

·         support initiatives presenting and promoting a diversity of European audiovisual works;

·         support activities aiming at increasing knowledge and interest of audiences in European audiovisual works.

 

Eligible activities


By audiovisual festival is understood an event:

·         programming eligible films (fiction, documentaries or animation), that are being screened to wide audiences including general public as well as accredited international audiovisual professionals and press;

·         taking place over a specific period of time, in a prior defined city;

·         having a clear regulation/selection procedure.

 

A minimum of 70% of the eligible programming presented to the public during the festival OR a minimum of 100 feature films (or 400 short films – in case of short film festivals) must originate from countries participating in the MEDIA Sub-programme hereinafter referred to as “European Films”.

 

Within this "MEDIA Sub-programme countries" programming:

·         At least 50% of the films must be non-national.

·         At least 15 such countries must be represented.

 

The MEDIA Sub-programme encourages European audiovisual festivals taking place in countries participating in the MEDIA Sub-programme which:

·         demonstrate strong efficiency in audience development (especially toward young audience) by implementing activities before, during or after the event including such as: year-long activities and/or decentralisation to other cities (with smaller partner festivals nationally and/or crossborder) and/or any efficient outreach activities towards non-core film festival audience;

·         demonstrate a commitment to innovative actions especially in the areas of outreach and audience development using the latest digital technologies and tools such as social media and online activities in order to create a permanent community; amplify innovative approaches beyond expanding their reach (for instance cross-platform programmes etc);

·         organize initiatives for film literacy (for example film education) in close cooperation with schools and other institutions throughout the year;

·         place strong emphasis on European films in general and especially films from countries of low audiovisual production capacity;

·         place strong emphasis on non-national European programming and geographic diversity of non-national European programming;

·    demonstrate interest to initiate and further develop collaboration and partnerships with other European film festivals across borders to increase resource efficiency including sharing of subtitling/dubbing, online viewing platforms etc.

 

The following events are not eligible:

·         Festivals dedicated to works that are not considered as eligible, such as commercials, live-broadcast events, TV series, music videos, video games, amateur films, mobile phone films, trailers and nonnarrative artistic works.

·       Thematic Festivals such as cultural events or art/technology/science-related events, as well as highly specialized festivals dealing with specific topics (for example: tourism, sport, ecology, nature, environment, gastronomy, fashion, health etc.) are not eligible.

 

Eligible applicants


This call for proposals is open to entities (private companies, non-profit organisations, associations, charities, foundations, municipalities/Town Councils, etc.) established in one of the countries participating in the MEDIA Sub-programme (see below) and owned directly or by majority participation, by nationals from such countries.

 

Applications from legal entities established in one of the following countries are eligible as long as all conditions referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation establishing the Creative Europe Programme are met and the Commission has entered into negotitations with the country:

·         EU Member States and overseas countries and territories which are eligible to participate in the Programme pursuant to Article 58 of Council Decision 2001/822/EC;

·         Acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates benefiting from a pre-accession strategy, in accordance with the general principles and general terms and conditions for the participation of those countries in Union programmes established in the respective Framework Agreements, Association Council Decisions or similar agreements;

·         EFTA countries which are members of the EEA, in accordance with the provisions of the EEA Agreement;

·         The Swiss Confederation, on the basis of a bilateral agreement to be concluded with that country;

·     Countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy in accordance with the procedures established with those countries following the framework agreements providing for their participation in European Union programmes.

 

The Programme shall also be open for bilateral or multilateral cooperation actions targeted at selected countries or regions on the basis of additional appropriations paid by, and specific arrangements to be agreed upon with, those countries or regions.

 

The Programme shall permit cooperation and joint actions with countries not participating in the Programme and with international organisations which are active in the cultural and creative sectors such as UNESCO, the Council of Europe, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development or the World Intellectual Property Organisation on the basis of joint contributions for the realisation of the Programme's objectives. Proposals from applicants in non EU countries may be selected, provided that, on the date of the award decision agreements have been signed setting out the arrangements for the participation of those countries in the programme established by the Regulation referred to above.
