EURIMAGES

EURIMAGES is a film fund run by The Council of Europe and supports co-production and distribution of European films. Eurimages' first objective is cultural, in that it endeavours to support works which reflect the multiple facets of a European society whose common roots are evidence of a single culture. The second one is economic, in that the Fund invests in an industry which, while concerned with commercial success, is interested in demonstrating that cinema is one of the arts and should be treated as such.

On 9 September 2020, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe approved the reform of Eurimages, proposed in light of the conclusions of the Fund’s most recent external evaluation. The reform, whose detailed implementation is to be finalised in 2021, will bring increased efficiency and transparency to the Eurimages Fund, to better meet the needs of an industry hit hard by the public health crisis.
