Since its inception in 1992, the PROGRAMM has been making significant contributions to the film and media landscape in Europe. Not only has it established an extensive and flourishing network of film and media professionals in Western and Eastern Europe over the years, but it has also brought countless European co-productions to the screen and forged the way for many future European co-productions and partnerships.
NIPKOW has been involved in the realisation of numerous feature films, documentary films, shorts and animation or digital productions. Many have been international award-winners.
Perhaps the key to NIPKOW's success lies in its unique made-to-order approach in meeting the individual needs of each of its participants and in linking them up with the appropriate partners.
