23 FEATURE FICTION MEDIA Creative Europe is the European Commission’s framework programme for support to the cul- ture and audiovisual sectors. Following on from the previous Culture Programme and MEDIA programme, Creative Europe, with a budget of €1.46 billion, will support Europe’s cultural and creative sectors. For questions, assistance relat- ed to the programme and help cooperating with organisations in other countries, Creative Europe Desks are in place in every participating country.
MEDIA SUB PROGRAMME The MEDIA sub-programme supports the ability of the EU’s film and audio- visual industries to develop, distribute and promote their work across all platforms. Funding is available in a number of areas including: strengthening innovation and competitiveness testing audience development strategies; training or professional development; developing projects for internation- al audiences; and cross-border co-productions. Finally, the sub-programme helps increase the impact of audiovisual projects by supporting marketing, distribution, branding, exhibitions and film literacy initiatives. Aiming to achieve the stated objectives the Greek MEDIA Desk, which according to the 3905/2010 Law operates under the auspices of Greek Film Centre, has a con- tinues presence as an active partner and cornerstone between the Greek market and the European program. Greek professionals and companies are eligible for financing and encouraged to participate to the different fund- ing schemes to the greatest possible degree. Indicatory for the year 2015, through Creative Europe’s MEDIA sub-programme, €1.872.740 million was in- vested at the Greek audiovisual sector. Specifically: Audience Development: 2 projects TV Programming: 1 project Development: 4 projects Training: 1 project Markets: 2 projects Festival: 4 projects Distribution: 81 projects
