Film financing – European strategies to boost cultural diversity
European Audiovisual Observatory announces this year’s Cannes conference!
The conference will look at the following themes: how are today’s European films financed? Who are the new financial players? How does public policy channel money into film funds and financing mechanisms? How is the structure of film financing in Europe changing?
Featured theme

You will find all films and publications relating to the conference here.
