Description

Objective:

Expected results:

- Improvement in the trans-national distribution of recent non-national European films.

- Increase in the investment in the production, acquisition, promotion, theatrical and online distribution of non-national European films.

- Develop links between the production and distribution sector thus improving the competitive position of non-national European films.

There are two phases for the funded activities:

1. The generation of a potential fund which will be attributed according to the performance of the company on the European market.

2. The implementation of the action - the potential fund thus generated by each company must be reinvested in:

- the co-production of eligible non-national European films;

- the acquisition of distribution rights, for example by means of minimum guarantees, of eligible non-national European films;

- promotion, marketing and advertising on the market of eligible non-national European films both for theatrical and online releases.
