Founded in 2021 by filmmaker/entrepreneur Kris De Meester , the program immediately proved its necessity. In the first year of this program a total number of 4,750 films were submitted. In the second year this number more than doubled to over 10,000 submitted films. Based on the average value of a submissions fee, the Connecting Cultures Program generated a financial support of 147,500 USD for the first two years.
