10 of the 25 projects admitted to the first session for audiovisual grants by the Regione Emilia-Romagna were approved and funded.
The Regional Council met on Monday, in video conference, with the intervention of the Vice-President of the Regione Emilia-Romagna, Elena Ethel Schlein, and the councillors: Calvano Paolo, Colla Vincenzo, Felicori Mauro, Lori Barbara, Mammi Alessio, Priolo Irene and Salomoni Paola.
The purpose of this meeting was the approval and consequent disbursement of the contributions provided by the region to support the audiovisual sector. The general objective of the Audiovisual Fund is therefore to support the production and dissemination of cultural works that can represent a potential opportunity to enhance communities and territories, to increase employment and professional growth of operators residing in the region and to contribute, in a broad sense, to the dissemination of cultural heritage. Actions such as these are important for attracting more and more productions to the region and for strengthening the entire regional cinema and audiovisual sector.
The resources available for the 2021 amount to 600,000.00 euro, while for the year 2022 the budget will be adjusted according to the time schedules of the projects supported. For this first session, the Council has decided to allocate as much as 387,857 euro, of which 350,000.00 will be allocated for the year 2021 and 37,857.98 for the year 2022.
