Despite the economic crisis, the effects of which can also be seen in the audiovisual sector, film production in the EU states reached a record high in 2009, with almost 1.200 cinematographic works produced. The fact that this record was set in 2009 suggests that it was the public film aid systems in Europe which prevented production levels from collapsing.This edition of IRIS plus looks at the theme of direct film aid and, in particular, examines a group of states which have previously attracted little attention in this regard: the states of South-East Europe.

LEAD ARTICLE

Governance of Film Aid in South-East Europe

Legal basis, structural elements, aid criteria

Film aid in Europe is governed by both European Union and Council of Europe provisions that are legally binding on member states. However, these rules also represent important standards for non-member states.
This IRIS plus is therefore divided into two parts:

- The first part examines these binding European provisions and shows how they are implemented through national film aid programmes.
- The second section describes the current situation of film aid programmes in nine selected countries.

It reveals some remarkable differences and similarities between national approaches to film aid, and shows that the elements that they have in common are influenced by the selection criteria and structures of the European film aid mechanisms and other European standards.
