Scheme Overview

Funding is available for projects that encourage the networking of film schools and mobility of European film students, in particular through collaboration between European film schools, training institutes, and with the participation of partners from the professional sector.

This Call is aimed at projects proposing three years worth of activities starting in 2012, and continuing into 2014. This Call is the last one in MEDIA 2007 for Initial Training, which means this is the last chance to apply for this scheme until 2014.

Sample Project

‘Engage’ was awarded €150,000 in 2007 and involves the National Film School at Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art and Design Technology (IADT)
Funded by the MEDIA Programme's Initial Training Call, Engage brings together 24 participants (writers, producers and directors) from different European countries during three residential workshops taking place in Ireland, Estonia and Scotland over a six-month period.
Engage offers a powerful mix of networking events, pitching sessions, project surgeries and case studies to help participants gain a better understanding of international co-production processes and the nature of collaborative project development.
ENGAGE will concentrate on three main areas:

  • 1. Screenwriting for low budget, international film and television drama.
  • 2. Development and co-production of fiction and documentary features for the European market.
  • 3. Production and distribution for the digital age
