World cinema heavyweights Mia Hansen-Love, Justine Triet and Bertrand Bonello are among the filmmakers who received some Eurimages fund via the first project evaluation session of 2026. Backing a total of 32 feature films (including two documentaries and one animated film), the majority of these films will be moving into production in 2026, and landing at major film fests next year. As we already know first quarter productions in Bonello’s Santo Subito and Triet’s Fonda will be targeting a Cannes comp slot next year, and Hansen-Love will finally see If Love Should Die push forward receiving €500,000 in funding. In same vein as perhaps Eduardo Williams’ The Human Surge 3, Cristian Mungiu and Ioana Maria Uricaru skip a beat with Tales Of The Golden Age 3 – it follows their 2009 omnibus Tales Of The Golden Age. Other recipients of significant coin include Carmen Cordoba‘s A World Of Their Own also receiving €500,000. and Aisling Walsh‘s Lucia which features Maya Hawke, Rhys Ifans and Eileen Walsh in the journey of Lucia Joyce, daughter of James Joyce, who moves from Trieste to Paris in 1920.
