Financial support for Cinemas - Eurimages

PRESENTATION

Within the framework of the EURIMAGES Programme, Europa Cinemas supports cinema exhibition in the member States of the Council of Europe since 1993.

This action is complementary to the support programme offered to cinemas operating within the MEDIA programme of the European Union. It facilitates the integration of the cinemas in these schemes when they join the European Union.

Therefore, only cinemas located in the EURIMAGES member States, which do not have access to any MEDIA Programme´s support, are eligible for assistance.
