The actor Cate Blanchett is to lead a new grant scheme for refugee film-makers, offering up to €100,000 (£84,000) each to five people to create short works focusing on the experiences of displaced people.
The initiative will launch as a pilot scheme but is planned to evolve into a long-term project, headed by Blanchett, a two-time Oscar winner and a goodwill ambassador for the UN refugee agency (UNHCR).
