The 16 films were supported by the EU through the Creative Europe MEDIA programme and received over €800.000 in funding for development and co-production.
The MEDIA strand of the Creative Europe programme supports the European film and audiovisual industries to develop, distribute and promote European works, and adapt to the digital environment (e.g. training in AI tools and virtual production, adaptation to new business models, introduction of marketing tools, etc.).
The winners will be announced during the awards ceremony taking place on Saturday, 25 May.
