Call: Sales Agents

Creative Europe's stated aims are to help the cultural and creative sectors seize the opportunities of the digital age and globalisation, enable the sectors to reach their economic potential, contributing to sustainable growth, jobs, and social cohesion, and to give Europe's culture and media sectors access to new international opportunities, markets, and audiences.
This will, amongst others, involve funding for:

• artists and cultural professionals
• cinemas
• films
• book translations

•  Initiatives that aim to promote the distribution of works and the access to markets
•  Initiatives for the development of projects or a set of projects (slate funding)
• 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

Funding is provided for the international distribution of European films. On the basis of its turnover in the European market, the  world sales can generate funds that are tied to reinvestment in the purchase or in marketing and promotion of current European films.

Applicants must be companies from Europe, which act as intermediaries for producers and specialize in the commercial exploitation of a film through its marketing and licensing to distributors or other purchasers for foreign territories and contribute through this activity to achieve the above objectives.
