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;

• activities for eligible non-national European films.
