Creative Europe MEDIA Desk Day: Know Your Neighbour

Our (non)organic collaborations

14/10 | MONDAY | 12:00 | DOKUKINO KIC

language: English
open to the public

The Creative Europe MEDIA desks in Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece and Serbia, in collaboration with the Zagreb Film Festival, are organising a joint event focusing on cross-border collaboration within the content cluster context of the new programming period “Creative Europe MEDIA 2021 – 2027”.

Going through the MEDIA 2021 results, we would like to tackle the following questions:

  • How (un)successful were our beneficiaries?
  • Who are our (un)usual suspects in terms of cross-border collaborations?
  • Are our national film funds (non)matching back-ups?

Speakers:
Kamen Balkanski (CED MEDIA Bulgaria)
Una Domazetoski (CED MEDIA Serbia)
Anna Kasimati (CED MEDIA Greece)

Moderator: Martina Petrović (CED MEDIA Croatia)

After our panel-discussion, all those interested in finding more about the calls (co-development, mini-slate and slate), can meet & greet the Creative Europe MEDIA desks in 1-1 meetings, followed up with a prior registration to: martina.petrovic@mediadesk.hr
