The programme is designed to stimulate the production of top-quality children’s content and pan-European coproductions, and will provide crucial follow-up both during and after the two leading kids events in the autumn.

The 25 producers selected for the first edition of Producers LINK were nominated by international partner organisations, including national film funds and film institutes.

The programme will start in September and have its first residency at Kids Kino Industry (27 September - 1 October 2021), finishing at Cinekid for Professionals (19 - 22 October 2021).
