From the notice

Call: TV and online content. Type of action: CREA Lump Sum Grants. Scope: The objective of the support to TV and online content is to increase the capacity of audiovisual producers to develop and produce strong projects with significant potential to circulate throughout Europe and beyond, and to facilitate European and international co-productions within the television and online sector.

Particular attention will be given to projects presenting innovative aspects in the content and in the financing that show a clear link with the envisaged distribution strategies. Supported projects can also have associated partners from countries not participating in the MEDIA Strand, though these cannot be beneficiaries. These partners can come from non-European countries to foster wider international cooperation and market access: a case in point is Korea pursuant to the audiovisual entitlement appended to the Protocol on Cultural Cooperation between the EU and Korea. Expected results Increased production of high quality European works for linear and non-linear broadcasting…[E3]
