New French CNC Distribution Support Scheme to Include CEE Countries

By

    PARIS: The French National Center of Cinematography, the CNC with the support of the European Commission's Creative Europe - MEDIA, is launching a new funding body that aims to promote the distribution of international coproductions. 

    Under the scheme countries outside France including those in central and eastern Europe can apply for distribution support.

    The project has been dubbed ACM Distribution and is run by ACM (Aid for Cinema Worldwide).

    This year a record number of 17 films supported by the ACM were selected in the different sections of the Cannes Festival and to date 156 films have been supported. This new selective aid will be open to European companies proposing innovative distribution and promotion strategies for one or more ACM films in at least 3 territories, including one European territory outside France and one territory outside Europe.
