EUROPEAN COMMISSION
MEDIA Plus Programme
EU programme designed to encourage the development, distribution and promotion of European films and audiovisual productions.
http://europa.eu.int/comm/avpolicy/media...
This call for proposals is aimed at European operators located in Member States and nonmember countries as set out in art. 11 of the MEDIA Plus Council Decision.
Community contribution of the total eligible costs per pilot project will be limited to a maximum of 50%.
Objectives
The pilot projects constitute the way in which the Council Decision ensures that the MEDIA Plus programme takes account of rapid technological change. It is expected that in the next few years the use of digital technologies will make European audiovisual works more easily accessible, because of new ways of transporting audiovisual content and as a result more widely available outside their country of origin. Competitiveness of the audiovisual content industry will depend largely on the use of new technologies in the development, production and distribution stages.
Areas of the MEDIA Plus programme in which technology is expected to play a key role are, inter alia (point 1.4 of the Annex to the Decision): cinematographic heritage, European audiovisual programme archives, catalogues of European audiovisual works and the digital dissemination of European content through for instance advanced distribution services.
Eligible Target Groups
Companies and organisations from the audio-visual industry and from related industries, in particular: content providers (producers, directors, managers, sales agents, distributors), exhibitors, broadcasters, marketing experts, rights holders, equipment manufacturers, data transport companies, technology integrators, leasing companies, representative organisations from all sectors concerned (production, distribution, exhibition) and funding bodies.
a) Areas in which Pilot Projects will be considered
Distribution: new ways of distributing and promoting European content via personalised services
Background
New emerging digital technologies will make personalised and interactive access to audio-visual works increasingly possible. The resulting services and the extent to which they evolve will depend not only on technology alone but also on the availability and promotion of appropriate content.
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to encourage at a European level, innovative ways of distributing European audio-visual works (fiction, creative documentaries, animation, multimedia, alternative content and archival material) via personalised, interactive services.
Projects selected under this action line should demonstrate the implementation of an interactive multilingual service. Tools for content selection, filtering, pricing must be integrated in the distribution system and should be user-friendly. Adequate project resources should be allocated in promoting such a service.
Exhibition: stimulate the use of digital technologies for the distribution and theatrical exhibition of European audio-visual works and alternative content across Europe.
Background
Despite the cost effectiveness of not having to produce and handle film prints, the electronic distribution of content directly into theatres, has not been adopted by the market.
It is essential to promote at this stage a model which would best fit European reality both in terms of the type of content, namely European audio-visual works (fiction, creative documentaries, animation, and multimedia including alternative content and archival material) and a viable business model which will enable such operations to become selfsupporting. The exchange of European audio-visual works between applicants from participating countries is a necessary prerequisite in a MEDIA context.
Purpose
The aim of this action is to incite the industry to distribute European audio-visual works in a digital form. It is expected that the action would provide a cost effective means to encourage the distribution and exchange of European audio-visual works in cinemas and appropriate venues across Europe. Applicants will be required to guarantee the supply of a variety of content in all necessary linguistic versions under realistic market conditions. In addition adequate project resources should be allocated in creating conditions for promoting this content in innovative and/or traditional ways.
On-line access and exchange of information related to European audio-visual works.
Background
The importance of ownership of European audio-visual works is well understood by both professionals and administrations alike. However, the lack of transparency in current practices does not allow a ready access for potential users to this information. The existence of comprehensive and interactive registers that would make available the relevant information would increase transparency and confidence on ownership and thus contribute to the development of the market for exploiting European audio-visual works.
Purpose
The purpose of this type of project will be to design a service such as the one outlined above operated profitably through a consortium of professional organisations, for the benefit of users. The service should be available to countries participating in the MEDIA programme. It should also be available to all those interested on reasonable, equitable and non-discriminatory terms. Business models that offer free access to some of the data would be preferred. The access to and exchange of the metadata in a standardised open format should be made possible in real time online. The service must be extensive and guarantee reliable regularly up-dated data.
Previously funded Projects: Projects which have received funding under a previous MEDIA Plus Pilot Project Call for Proposals
All such projects, which are in operation for almost one year, should submit an application under this area. In their application, together with the necessary administrative information, should be included all interim and/or final reports that the projects have produced. The budget applied for should match that in the original application. Any change in the budget should be explained in the light of experience gained during last year’s operation. The projects will undergo an in-depth evaluation in which members of the project will be asked to explain all aspects of their work. Failure to be evaluated successfully will mean that the project will not proceed to a second year.
b) Organisation of the Pilot Project
All applicants are required to take into account the following recommendations:
1. Projects will be constituted, where necessary, of Consortia under the leadership of a prime contractor who will sign any agreement or contract with the Commission. The nationality of partners in such consortia cannot alone be used as proof of the European dimension of the project.
2. A concertation mechanism will be established following the selection of projects with a view to allow the exchange of know-how and of best practices.

Cinemania[c]
Artists are invited to send the work that relates to the topics of cinema, cinephilia, cinemania, to the experience of watching films.
www.mmc-luka.org/cinemaniac
cinemania[c] is an independent project consisting of exhibition and screenings, that is organized as the supporting programme to the 50th Pula Film Festival, taking place at the gallery of the Multimedia Centre LUKA, Istarska 30, Pula.
introduction
The relationship between art and cinema is the relationship between art and technology, and their history is the history of experiments in various fields. What developed from this symbiosis is the most ephemeral art of all - "the art of time". Considering the traces films left in our visual culture, the exhibition is going to explore the experience of watching movies, as well as the way cinematographic aesthetics shaped and continues to shape our mind, affecting our common perception of the world.cinemania[c] is the product of a meta-media society that recycles its existing media images and where each work of art functions as a research lab in which the raw material is critically questioned and analysed. It is a "cut&paste" culture that inherited avant-garde techniques of editing and collage and joined them with the techniques of sampling and digital manipulation. In that way, the digital context as digitally expanded cinema protects and developes the tradition of independent, avantgarde and experimental cinema. But, more that anything else cinemania[c] is a hommage to Film/Movies, and we use this exhibition to show our love to it.
call for artists
Artists are invited to send the work that relates to the topics of cinema, cinephilia, cinemania, to the experience of watching films. By conceptualizing visual culture and moving images the exhibition will creatively engage with our experience of films and tackle our relationship towards specific films or cinema in general, different genres, film language, formal qualities.The exhibition will also address our understanding of society through popular culture and deal with the concepts of time and space as well as the looking strategies and presentation. By using various media formats like pictures, photographs, installation, video, animation, scratch tapes, net.art, presented either on CD ROM, VHS, DVD it is our intent that, through quotation and intertextuality, a new body is created which will demonstrate that correlation of film with other art forms can ensure an after life for the original work, long after its screening. cinemania[c] takes into account the role cinema has had so far in our visual culture...and pays the homage...
besides the work the application should include
full name
short CV
title of the work
short description of the work
contact (address, e-mail. phone number)
for catalogue purposes: attach an imageof the work in jpg (300dpi 10cm wide) or screen shot technical details and requirements: format, dimensions and notes on audio/visual presentation optional: additional material- sketches, drawings, photographs,...
The curator will, through consultation with the gallery board, select the work and the results will be published on June 25, 2003 at www.mmc-luka.org and www.hdluistre.hr Also, the authors will be personally notified.
The same as last year exhibition will feature a catalogue with CD rom where all the exhibited work will be presented. The work is in general not returned, except upon the special request by the author.
