Eurimages is the cultural support fund of the Council of Europe. Established in 1989, it currently numbers 38 of the 46 member states of the Strasbourg-based organisation, plus Canada. Eurimages promotes independent filmmaking by providing financial support to feature-length fiction, animation and documentary films. In doing so, it encourages co-operation between professionals established in different countries. Eurimages has a total annual budget of approximately 30M€.
The Council of Europe’s Eurimages Fund has joined forces with nine co-production markets from all over the world – and Cartoon Movie is one of them again this year – in order to award the Eurimages Co-production Development Award (CPDA). This cash prize of €20,000 has been created to promote the Fund’s role in encouraging international co-productions animations from the initial stages of a project.
The project should be conceived as an international co-production intended for cinema release. The award will be granted to the applicant, which must be an independent production company based in a Eurimages member State having creative control of the project and with the majority participation in the development financing.
The applicant must have the intention of involving at least one other producer from a different Eurimages member State in the co-production. The award, which takes the form of a non-reimbursable subsidy, must be used to cover development expenses of the project.
