European Film Distribution
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. |
