Call for proposals 2010 for support to Video on Demand and Digital Cinema Distribution (MEDIA 2007) EACEA/05/10 Closed!

Objectives

The European Commission has launched a Call for Proposals based on Decision Nº 1718/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 November 2006 concerning the implementation of a programme of support for the European audiovisual sector (MEDIA 2007).
 
One of the measures to be implemented under this Decision is to support Video on Demand and Digital Cinema Distribution. The Video on Demand and Digital Cinema Distribution scheme constitutes one of the ways in which the MEDIA 2007 programme ensures that the latest technologies and trends are incorporated into the business practices of beneficiaries of the programme.

The main objective of this scheme is to support the creation and exploitation of catalogues of European works to be distributed digitally across borders to a wider audience and/or to cinema exhibitors through advanced distribution services, integrating where necessary digital security systems in order to protect online content.

In addition to our useful documents section, further information about the Call for Proposals EACEA/05/10, as well as relevant documents can be found at the Media website.
