The committee granting the advance on future box office takings is led by Jean-Claude Lamy, and in 2003 it has had a total budget of €20.7 million, a figure that will rise to €21.2 million in 2004. There have been so many applications from ambitious films that at the end of September, the date fixed for entries to be sent in for the next session, the CNC was inundated with requests and has had to set up a sort of “fixed number” list for the first time.
