The Media sub-programme, which supports the audiovisual and multimedia sector, provides opportunities for:

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
