• Support for the production of television programmes or video games
• Activities to increase interest in and improve access to audiovisual works
• Activities that promote interests in films, such as cinema networks or film festivals
• Measures that facilitate international co-production and strengthen the circulation and distribution of works
• Activities to build the skills and capacities of audiovisual sector professionals
