European Film Industry Up in Arms Over Planned Creative Europe MEDIA Program Overhaul

European trade organizations representing the film industry sector are opposing the EU Commission's plans to overhaul the Creative Europe funding program. They urge the European Parliament and member states to preserve the program's identity and core objectives, and to ensure the intrinsic and artistic value of culture remains at its heart. The planned overhaul would combine the culture and media strands under the AgoraEU initiative, potentially blurring boundaries and jeopardizing industry support.
