The aim of this prize is to encourage the emergence of projects dealing with stories, characters or settings that bear witness to the links between the partner territories in all their dimensions (economic, political, geographical, societal, cultural, etc.).
It aims to encourage new ways of looking at clearly identified subjects (steel, war, migratory movements, etc.), as well as themes that have received little or no treatment to date (the inner workings of European institutions, news stories, local imagination, societal or natural phenomena, etc.), whether they are inspired by physical realities (landscapes, buildings, infrastructures), historical facts (personalities, events, etc.) or current affairs.
Its aim is to enable filmmakers to explore and unveil the range of possibilities offered by these themes and to take on board the artistic and intellectual contribution of a cross-border narrative perspective, in order to contribute to the development of a genuine CinEuro signature and enhance its visibility in European and international cinema.
The CinEuro Prize is awarded annually in two categories of projects in development:
- Documentary: a prize of €10,000, awarded to a documentary project for cinema, television, or streaming platforms, either a feature-length (min. 40 min) or a series (min. 2 x 20 min). Additionally, a bonus of €5,000 may be awarded if the jury deems the project’s progress satisfactory after a period of 2 years.
- Fiction: a prize of €20,000, awarded to an audiovisual, cinema, or streaming platform project, either a feature-length (min. 60 min) or a series (min. 3 x 20 min) in live-action or animation. Additionally, a bonus of €10,000 may be awarded if the jury deems the project’s progress satisfactory after a period of 2 years.
