European Audiovisual Organisations Call for Increase of Creative Europe Programme's Budget

By FNE Staff

BRUSSELS: European organisations from the audiovisual sector call in an open letter for a significant budget increase for the Creative Europe Programme, specifically insisting that the proposed 58% share earmarked for Creative Europe MEDIA in the Creative Europe Programme’s budget must at the very least be guaranteed in relation to the overall financial proposal.

The organisations consider the seven-year Creative Europe budget of 1.85b EUR to not sufficiently reflect the current political, economic, market and cultural challenges facing the European Union..

The letter is signed by: CEPI – The European Coordination of Independent Producers, EFP, Eurocinema, Europa Cinemas, Europa Distribution, Europa International, FIAD – International Federation of Film Distributors’ Associations, FIAPF – International Federation of Film Producers’ Associations, IVF – International Video Federation and UNIC – International Union of Cinemas.
