Overview ::  MEDIA International

Preparatory action MEDIA International 

The preparatory action MEDIA International aims to explore ways of reinforcing cooperation between European and third-country professionals from the audiovisual industry on a basis of mutual benefit. It also aims to encourage a two-way flow of cinematographic/audiovisual works.

Voted a budget of €2 million by the European Parliament in December 2007 for actions in 2008/2009, and a budget of €5 million by the European Parliament in December 2008 for actions in 2009/2010, MEDIA International is planned to operate for up to three years with a view to paving the way for a broader EU support programme MEDIA Mundus for global cooperation in the audiovisual industry sector. MEDIA International runs in parallel to the existing seven-years MEDIA 2007 programme which supports the EU film industry.
