Press Release: MEDIA and Creative Europe in limelight at Berlinale

For two weeks (6-16 February 2014), the 64th Berlinale film festival screened some of the best new European and international films, including
nearly 30 films supported by the European Union's MEDIA. The films, which include four in the main competition have received €2.2 million in EU funding to date.

The bulk of funding from MEDIA, part of the new Creative Europe programme, supports the international distribution of European films outside their country of origin. Over the next seven years more than 800 European films will receive a total of €800 million in development and distribution support from MEDIA. Film industry professionals are invited to a Creative Europe information day on 10 February.
