The MEDIA Programme helps the European Union film and audiovisual industries with financial support in the development, distribution and promotion of their work.

It provides assistance with getting projects with a European dimension off the ground and in nurturing new technologies; it contributes to enabling European films and audiovisual works to find markets beyond national – and European – borders; it part-funds the training and development of budding filmmakers and established professionals.

Through MEDIA Mundus, the EU fosters partnerships between European filmmakers and their counterparts throughout the world. MEDIA Literacy explores how citizens can make more informed choices when accessing all forms of media.
