The latest round of Eurimages funding deliberations concluded in Dublin last week.

Jimmy Deenihan, Irish Minister for Arts and Heritage said, “We were delighted to welcome the Eurimages Board of Management to Ireland. It is a very fitting location for Eurimages as Ireland has become one of Europe's leading co-producing countries. Irish producers remain committed to European co-production having built up a strong reputation in this area. The Irish Film Board's Creative Co-production Fund is also evidence of the Irish national film agency's commitment to developing our European co-production activities.” The list of films which have received Eurimages funding in the latest round:
