II. Grants» Eurimages»

EURIMAGES is an international fund for the support of European film co-productions established by the European Council in Strasbourg. The support that the fund provides is designated predominantly for feature and documentary films over 70 minutes designed for distribution in cinemas and on which at least two co-producers from member countries of the EURIMAGES fund took part. The fund currently has 36 member countries. For Czech producers the expanded membership means more co-production opportunities with the prospect of receiving EURIMAGES support. In 2012 some rules were modified and requests switched to the electronic submissions.

The EURIMAGES fund currently meets four times a year. Approximately 40 projects are discussed at each meeting.

In 2012 the EURIMAGES Fund supported 68 films in the total amount of 21,710,000 EUR.

Seven film projects with Czech participation applied for the subsidy of EURIMAGES fund, three of them were successful.
