Having developed a profound co-operation between European and Asian companies and institutions in TV and film industry, it has become a fruitful time in the past ten years. TV co-production agreements and projects have been signed among broadcasters and producers of the 2 continents in the fields of documentary, docu-drama and animation. European TV stations have been launched all over Asia and Asian broadcasters have launched their brands in Europe. In the film industry, numerous agreements have been signed between Asian and European countries to facilitate coproduction. In the meantime, more movies from both continents are being distributed in the theatres.
