SUPPORT TO ACP CINEMA & AUDIOVISUAL SECTOR
The ACP-EU Culture Programme includes an innovative mechanism to support audiovisual co-productions in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
Grants from the programme are allocated to existing co-production funds and are additional to the funding they provide on the ground through their calls for proposals.
This decentralised approach facilitates operators’ access to joint funding (traditional support and the programme’s “bonus”), as well as the circulation of ACP works on national and international markets. Thanks to the ACP bonus, projects can benefit from substantial financial support, which will make it easier for them to complete their co-production budget.
