Summary: Supports cross-border distribution, investment, and promotion of recent non-national European films to strengthen their market presence and competitiveness.
This funding opportunity aims to enhance the trans-national distribution of recent non-national European films by supporting increased investment in their production, acquisition, promotion, and both theatrical and online distribution. The initiative is designed to strengthen links between the production and distribution sectors, ultimately improving the competitive position of non-national European films within the European market. The grant operates in two phases: first, a potential fund is generated for each applicant company based on its market performance; second, the fund must be reinvested in co-production, acquisition of distribution rights, and promotional activities for eligible non-national European films.
