The 2016 Cannes Film Festival was a great occasion to celebrate the 25th anniversary of MEDIA, the European Union's support programme for the European audiovisual industry. MEDIA-funded films once again feature very strongly in the selection: 9 of the 21 films in competition for the Palme d'Or this year have been supported by MEDIA, including films by Ken Loach, Pedro Almodóvar, Cristian Mungiu and the Dardenne brothers. In the last 25 years, 40 MEDIA-funded films have been awarded the Palme d'Or, the Grand Prix or the Best Director Award. |
