enCinEuro Prize for the development of cross-border co-productions
THE CALL FOR PROJECTS FOR THE CINEURO-PRIZE 24 CLOSED ON FEBRUARY 29, 2024. JOIN US IN MAY FOR THE FINALISTS ANNOUNCEMENT AND ON JULY 3RD AT THE ALENTOURS FORUM FOR THE PITCH SESSION AND TO FIND OUT THE LAUREATES.
CinEuro is a cross-border network of nearly 40 organisations responsible for supporting the film and audiovisual industry in France, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. From 2023, the CinEuro partners decided to support the development of co-productions based on stories linked to the partner territories.
To this end, the Région Grand Est, the Film Fund Luxembourg, the Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg, the Saarland Medien GmbH, the Ministerium für Familie, Frauen, Kultur und Integration Rheinland-Pfalz, Wallimage, screen.brussels, Wallonie-Bruxelles International and the Ministerium der Deutschsprachigen Gemeinschaft Belgiens have jointly launched the CinEuro Prize.
The aim of this prize is to encourage the emergence of projects dealing with stories, characters or settings that bear witness to the links between the partner territories in all their dimensions (economic, political, geographical, societal, cultural, etc.).
It aims to encourage new ways of looking at clearly identified subjects (steel, war, migratory movements, etc.), as well as themes that have received little or no treatment to date (the inner workings of European institutions, news stories, local imagination, societal or natural phenomena, etc.), whether they are inspired by physical realities (landscapes, buildings, infrastructures), historical facts (personalities, events, etc.) or current affairs.
Its aim is to enable filmmakers to explore and unveil the range of possibilities offered by these themes and to take on board the artistic and intellectual contribution of a cross-border narrative perspective, in order to contribute to the development of a genuine CinEuro signature and enhance its visibility in European and international cinema.
Prize categories and amounts
The CinEuro Prize is awarded annually in two categories for projects in development:
- Documentary: Prize of 10,000€, awarded to a cinema, audiovisual, or streaming platform documentary project, either feature-length (min. 40 min) or a series (min. 2 x 20 min), of high quality and with strong potential for supra-regional distribution.
