International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) and Göteborg Film Festival are among 34 festivals receiving a total of €1.62m ($1.92m) funding under Creative Europe MEDIA’s Film Festivals scheme.
The scheme is split into two sections – Action 1 and Action 2 – with the individual festivals under Action 1.
Göteborg is the largest single recipient at €75,000, while €63,000 awards go to Thessaloniki film and documentary festivals, Seville European Film Festival, IDFA, Nordische Filmtage Lübeck, CPH:DOX and IFFR.
Further recipients include Cork International Film Festival in Ireland, Lisbon Animation Festival in Portugal, and Germany’s Braunschweig International Film Festival.
