The Council of Europe’s Eurimages Fund, in partnership with major co‑production markets throughout its member States, presents the Eurimages Co‑production Development Award: a €20,000 prize for a project in early development that encourages international co‑production from the initial stages of a project.

 

How it works:

  • Where: The award is presented at selected partner co‑production markets.
  • For whom: Projects must first be submitted to the host market for selection. Applicants need to be from a Eurimages member state.
  • How: Among the eligible projects, a jury appointed for the Eurimages Co-production Development Award selects one project.
  • There is no direct application to Eurimages; only projects in the partner market’s official line‑up can be eligible.

The following co-production markets have been selected to present the Eurimages Co-production Development Awards in the 2024-2026 cycle:

Eurimages Co-production Development Award - Mia Market

SISTERS by Emin Alper won the Eurimages Co-Production Development Award 2016, the prize awarded in the framework of MIA.

The Special Mention was awarded to FORTNIGHT by Aga Woszcyńska. The award ceremony, which took place in the Chiostro Grande of  the Terme di Diocleziano, has been hosted by Lucia Milazzotto, director of the International Audiovisual Market, and by the Eurimages President Jobst Plog, who has awarded the prizes. The jury, composed by Iole Giannattasio, Ilann Girard, Lee Magiday and Michael Weber, has awarded the Eurimages Co-Production Development Prize 2016 of 20.000 Euros to Sisters, directed by Emin Alper and produced by Nadir Öperli. Emir Alper, representative of the new generation of the Turkish cinema, gets acknowledged for his own take of the Anatolian traditional society. Sisters explores the Ottoman institution of Besleme, where village girls are placed in well-established foster families, hoping in a better life. What should be a hope for a better life carries with it an insight into the complexities of their desire for freedom and the reality of being stuck in a predefined role in a traditional culture.

The Jury was challenged in coming to a unanimous decision and have decided to give special mention to Fortnight by Aga Woszcyńska, produced by Agnieszka Wasiak. A contemporary tale about a privileged Polish couple confronted by a situation that challenges the dynamic of their relationship. An intimate story that touches on the widening distances in our society.
