Results achieved
It can be estimated that, in 2014-2020, at least 6,400 cultural organisations and 240,000 artists, cultural professionals and their works would receive support from the culture sub-programme to cross borders, reach new audiences and acquire the experience which will help them to develop international careers. the programme will also support the translation of an estimated 4,500 books and other literary works.the media sub-programme will support the worldwide distribution of more than 800 european films, via traditional and digital platforms; it will also provide funding for the training of audiovisual professionals, to help them access and successfully work in international markets, and for the development of films and other audiovisual works with a potential for cross-border circulation.it is expected that the european investment fund (eif) will manage the €121 million guarantee facility on behalf of the european commission, and that it will have a leverage effect of roughly 5 times this amount. while the implementation of the programmes have not yet been formally evaluated, in 2017 a mid-term review of the creative europe programme will include an evaluation of the culture, media and media mundus programmes (2011-2013) as well as the first years of creative europe.
