Results of EU subtitling initiative announced

The following projects have been selected for funding through the European Commission’s initiative to identify how crowdsourcing or other innovative solutions might reduce the prohibitive costs of subtitling:

• Working SUB Titles, led by Under the Milky Way in partnership with French Post Production House VDM (France)
• SubtitleX.EU, led by EYZ Media (Germany)
• SUBurbia.EU, by Way Film Translation (Germany)  

Through this, the Commission hopes to increase the exposure of European audiovisual works in video-on-demand (VoD) services. In 2016, this action will allow IPEDA, an association that assists its members with film distribution and marketing, to contribute to the VoD distribution of 20 films in 11 territories.
