Description

1) Objective

The objective of the European mini-slate development support is to foster the competitiveness of European independent production companies and to increase their economic weight on the market. The aim is also to increase the capacity of audiovisual producers to develop projects with the potential to circulate throughout Europe and beyond, and to facilitate European and international coproduction. The support will also provide an entry point for emerging talent, giving them the opportunity to direct a short film supported by the strong foundation provided by experienced companies.

Expected results are:

  • A stronger position on European and international markets for companies selected under European mini-slate development.
  • Increased quality, feasibility, cross-border potential and market value of European works supported.

Support will be given to independent European production companies able to develop a slate of 2 to 3 audiovisual works (fiction, animation, creative documentary). This should allow production companies to reduce risks and increase their capacity to attract and retain talents.

2) Eligibility

Eligibility is limited to legal entities (public or private bodies).

3) Location

Actions must take place in EU member states plus Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Tunisia and Ukraine. 

4) Budget

The estimated available call budget is €5,500,000.

5) Application

The application deadline is 17 September 2025. All proposals must be submitted directly online via the Funding & Tenders Portal Electronic Submission System.
