a two-way flow of cinematographic/audiovisual works.</p>
<p>Voted a budget of €2 million by the European Parliament in December 2007 for
actions in 2008/2009, and a budget of €5 million by the European Parliament in

<br><h1 align="center">MEDIA MUNDUS</h1>The European Commission adopted a new MEDIA Mundus programme, a broad
international cooperation programme for the audiovisual industry to strengthen
cultural and commercial relations between Europe's film industry and film-makers
of third countries. Pending adoption of the MEDIA Mundus programme by Council
and European Parliament the EU would provide €15 million of funding from
2011-2013 for projects submitted by audiovisual professionals from Europe and third
countries. Cooperation with the European film industry is in strong demand
around the globe as shown by the initial success of the MEDIA International
Preparatory Action under which the EU provided € 2 million of funding for 18
projects involving international partners.
<br>
<br>
The new MEDIA Mundus programme would run from<b> 2011-2013 </b>and will capitalise on
this growing interest and the opportunities offered by global cooperation of the
audiovisual industry. It will increase consumer choice by bringing more
culturally diverse products to European and international markets and will
create new business opportunities for audiovisual professionals from Europe and
around the globe.<br clear="all"><br>.........................................................................<br>-- <br>mit den besten Grüßen,<br>Daniel Gad<br><br>. Impulse geben . Initiative Kultur Bewegt | Rothenburg 41 | D-48143 Münster<br>
