The International Association of Independent Producers
of the Mediterranean (APIMED) was founded in the French city of Montpellier
in 1997 and today is gathering more than 400 television and film producers
of the Mediterranean area. APIMED's main aim is to contribute to preserve all cultures if the Mediterranean area and to promote their diversity in the audiovisual industry. We defend, manage and represent our members and their business interests with regard to the audiovisual production sector and the public and private entities. The association gathers independent producers and the main producer's associations from countries like: Algeria, Egypt, France, Greece, Lebanon, Israel, Italy, Morocco, Palestine, Spain, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey. APIMED moved its Central Office to Barcelona in 1999, thanks to an invitation from the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMED). The IEMED is giving support and assistance to an initiative that pretends to create new links between both shores of the Mediterranean, something that this institution has been working on since its creation in 1989. APIMED chose Barcelona because the city has a great number of audiovisual companies that give their services to the industry since many years, for the influence of the Catalan Producers Association (PAC) and the support given by the local public institutions, such as the Catalan Government. APIMED has permanent relations with the MEDIA Programme of the EU, the Institute of Cinematography and the Audiovisual Arts (ICAA), the Catalan Institute of Cultural Industries (ICIC) , Co.Pe.A.M., Televisió de Catalunya, (TVC), EGEDA and FILMTEL. WHO CAN BECOME A MEMBER? All European and Mediterranean independent producers are welcome to become members of APIMED as well as the associations of producer's of any European or Mediterranean country.

Download Application Form for MEDIMED 2003 ckick here >> The euro-mediterranean market MEDIMED that we organise in Sitges with the support of the European Union and the Catalan Government among other Spanish institutions, has been a great success. Knowing their will of making possible a place for dialogue and partnership between Europe and the Southern Mediterranean countries, we believe that the year 2003 will be the year for new financial aids and a new view of Euromed Audiovisuel. MEDIMED 2003 will celebrate its 4th edition of the market, which is already well known and considered by the European and Mediterranean networks. TEMPUS PROGRAMME APIMED is aware of the different levels of preparation of the professionals of both shores of the Mediterranean. Therefor during 2003 and for the first time APIMED will focus on training professionals. APIMED is involved together with the Institut d'Educació Contínua of the University Pompeu Fabra and the University of Alger in a project submitted to the TEMPUS Programme of the EU, which will be most probably take place in 2003. MEDITERRANEAN FILM WEEK APIMED is willing to let the audiences know the recent films and documentaries from both shores of the Mediterranean. We are currently preparing a retrospective of Mediterranean Cinema that will take place in Barcelona in July 2003. REPORTS/STUDIES APIMED has already made a report about the Euro-Mediterranean Audiovisual that was made public by the Spanish Ministry of Culture during the Spanish Presidency of the EU. We are about to publish the conclusions of the round-table discussion: "Co-production of TV Movies within Europe and the Mediterranean" taht we organised in the context of MEDIMED 2002. We will soon distribute it free of charge to all APIMED members. In the forthcoming months we will present together with the University Pompeu Fabra and the European Institute of the Mediterranean a project to study the Mediterranean audiovisual operators that will be supported financially by public institutions. |
