ABOUT CINEREGIO


CineRegio is a network of regional film funds in Europe. The network is continuously expanding and today represents 54 regional film funds from 12 EU Member States, Norway, Switzerland and UK.

The members exhibit a range of support schemes and services to the film sector which aim to support film culture, encourage social cohesion and build regional infrastructure.

Regional film support is vital to foster and safe-guard the development of the European audiovisual sector and promotes regional and local cultural identities, cultural diversity and democratic empowerment.

CineRegio's main objectives are threefold and interlinked:

Knowledge Sharing, Film Policy and Co-Productions

  • To exchange views, perspectives, good practices and information for the benefit of the European film industry, including integrating new regional film funds.

  • To strengthen the co-development and co-production of audiovisual products, fusing talents and resources in different regions for a wider market - including stimulating artistic, technical and creative exchange and know-how throughout Europe.
