Audiovisual industries

Like its forerunners, MEDIA 2007 will focus on activities before and after production offering support for training, project development, distribution and promotion. The Programme will also put in place measures to accompany the changes that digitisation is producing in the audiovisual sector at all stages of the production and distribution chain, including in terms of new skills for professionals in the sector.

The budget will be €755 million over seven years (2007-13).
