Cine-Regio

Cine-Regio is a network of regional film funds in Europe. The network is continuously expanding and today represents 43 regional film funds from 12 EU Member States, in addition to Norway and Switzerland. The members exhibit a range of support schemes and services to the film sector which aim to support film culture, encourage social cohesion and build regional infrastructure. Regional film support is vital to foster and safe-guard the development of the European audiovisual sector and promotes regional and local cultural identities, cultural diversity and democratic empowerment. Cine-Regio's main objectives are threefold and interlinked:

Knowledge Sharing, Film Policy and Co-Productions

• To exchange views, perspectives, good practices and information for the benefit of the European film industry, including integrating new regional film funds.
• To raise awareness, represent and promote regional audiovisual interests across Europe, including members' interests towards European institutions and other organisations which play a role in determining the set of rules and conditions for regional film funds.
• To strengthen the co-development and co-production of audiovisual products, fusing talents and resources in different regions for a wider market - including stimulating artistic, technical and creative exchange and know-how throughout Europe.

Together with the European film industry and members, Cine-Regio is continuously involved in initiating and organising activities in the European regions.

European Film Promotion

European Film Promotion (EFP) is the only existing international network of organisations promoting and marketing European cinema worldwide. Founded in 1997, the network comprises professional organisations from 35 European countries who are experts in promoting and marketing their own national cinema. Under the EFP umbrella, all of these organisations work together on the promotion of European cinema and talent around the world. Founded by ten members as a non-profit organisation, EFP has since grown into a leading international promotion organisation with a membership of 36 organisations representing 35 countries in Europe– from Portugal in the West to Georgia in the East. While promoting European cinema with joint initiatives under the EFP umbrella, the organization fully respects the culturally rich and unique nature of each of its member’s own cinema heritage. EFP represents the diverse interests of its members through a variety of projects which are taking place under the EFP banner, at different festivals and markets around the globe. EFP’s reliance on the national expertise and know-how of the member institutes has been at the core of the organizational goals since it’s inception, and has been essential to EFP’s ability to achieve sustainable success through a long-term approach to bringing European cinema to audiences around the world.

nextMedia.Hamburg

nextMedia.Hamburg is a location initiative by Hamburg’s digital and media economy, and is a consequent development of the tried-and-tested initiative Hamburg@work. It is financed and organized by the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, the association Hamburg@work (e.V.), the HWF Hamburg Business Development Corporation, and committed enterprises. A digital ecosystem is currently in its nascency, differing from classic media in its new forms of usage, applications, content and markets. This context casts nextMedia.Hamburg in the role of an enabler that activates the potentials of the digital transformation of the media for the securing and extension of Hamburg’s pole position as a media location with regard to developing new business models. The initiative addresses all media professionals whose business model is affected by the digital change, whose business models have changed or are in the process of changing or have even come into existence by these changes in the first place. nextMedia.Hamburg intends to improve the conditions for the development of digital business models at the cutting point of content and technology, encouraging cooperation and further increasing the networking between major content providers, medium-sized digital enterprises and start-ups.
