Eurimages offers sponsorship and patronage to selected film-related events taking place in the Fund’s member States (and associated). This activity aims to promote the Fund through partnerships with initiatives likely to share its objectives and willing to highlight them. Furthermore, among the activities aimed at promoting the Eurimages Fund, a distinction is made between sponsorship of receptions and events taking place within the framework of film events and patronage of film events without any financial participation from the Fund.

Following the call for sponsorship proposals in 2023, Eurimages has selected the tenders from the following partners:

CICAE (Journée du Cinéma d’Auteur Européen / European Arthouse Cinema Day for a total amount of €10,000;

European Film Promotion for a total amount of €10,000 to be equally divided between the initiatives Producers on the Move at the Cannes Film Festival and Europe! Umbrella and Reception at the Toronto International Film Festival;

Montréal Festival du Nouveau Cinéma de Montréal for a total amount of €5,000;

FIDLab Marseille for a total amount of €10,000;

IDFA (Producers Network) in Amsterdam for a total amount of €10,000;

Locarno Pro/Alliance 4 Development at the Locarno Film Festival for a professional lunch hosted by for a total amount of €2,500 and

ReAnimania in Armenia for a reception hosted by Eurimages for a total amount of €3,000.

These partnerships will be tacitly renewable for one year maximum twice, i.e. until 2026. Thus, a new call for sponsorship proposals will be launched in 2026.
