  • Establish a regular dialogue between the appropiate institutions and strengthen the exchange between the different professional actors on these key factors of attractiveness and competitiveness of the sector.
  • Increasing the attractiveness of the cross-border film area for regional filmmakers and attracting more and more international filmmakers.
  • Expanding the existing network via the online tool, events aimed at professionals at major festivals and events in the region and strengthening the presence on festivals at European and international level.

In addition, the network is to be opened up to the territory of the Greater Region. Through coordination with the CinEuro Greater Region project, the link between regional film industries will be strengthened, as well as the articulation of existing capacities and resources at cross-border level.
