Funding for audiovisual productions (film, television series, games) is provided by the Flemish Audiovisual Fund (VAF; see 1.2.3 and 3.5.3), which functions separately from the Arts Decree. The latter, however, does provide funding options for audiovisual work for multiple screens (which is usually shown in the exhibition circuit). The VAF was established by the Decree of 13 April 1999.
There are also economic funds for audiovisual production outside the policy field of Culture. These are linked to competences of the Regions. Screen Flanders operates in the Flemish Region and the Screen.brussels Fund in the Brussels-Capital Region.
The Media Decree of 27 March 2009 is the main legal framework for broadcasting in the Flemish Community. The Flemish Regulator of the Media (see 2.5.3) provides an overview of additional stipulations and regulations on broadcasting.
