The Cine Regio Young Audience Report 2025 maps the strategic support that Cine Regio members provide for young audiences and the production of content for them. It showcases a variety of approaches, including dedicated funding schemes, educational programmes, festivals, talent initiatives and specialised team members.
Based on direct contributions from its members, Cine Regio showcases best practices to inspire further development and exchange in this report. It demonstrates how regional strategies can strengthen the creation and circulation of high-quality works for young audiences, broaden access to film culture and ensure that children and young people are recognised within European film policy.
Initiated by KIDS Regio in collaboration with Cine Regio, this publication provides valuable insights for policymakers, funders and industry professionals who are committed to fostering a sustainable and inclusive film culture for young audiences.
KIDS Regio presents the lobby initiative for high quality and multi-faceted European Children’s Films. It operates within the framework of Cine Regio, the network of regional film funds in Europe that collaborate to promote film culture, encourage innovation and enhance regional production by sharing strategies, resources and expertise.
