About
Amidst this, the Creative Europe MEDIA programme, as the primary supporter of the European audiovisual industry, will be evolving. The current program finishes at the end of 2020 and the Commission has made a proposal for the successor programme to start in 2021. Thus the combination of structural changes in the industry as well as the new and upcoming term for Creative Europe MEDIA marks the arrival of a new era of opportunities for European storytellers and audiovisual industry entrepreneur
Drawing from the successful Estonian EU presidency conference in 2018, the European Film Forum Tallinn 2018 serves as a discussion forum between creatives, technologists, investors, and policymakers to provide input into the agenda of the Creative Europe MEDIA program post-2020 and brainstorm how Europe’s audiovisual industry can innovate in the global competition.
Expect keynote’s from leaders from film, television, gaming, festivals, deep technology, robotics blockchain & policymaking plus high intensity debates where Europe should set its priorities for the upcoming decade.
