Moreover, as part of the Distribution Support Programme (Support for “marketing and publicity costs”), Eurimages agreed to support 64 requests for payment submitted by 23 distributors, for an amount of €479,117 (read more here).

Lastly, at a meeting bursting with strategic decisions, the body decided to suspend distribution support in its current form as from the 2020 cycle and to launch an independent study on the relevance of distribution support, open to all the members of the fund, for projects already supported by Eurimages as part of the co-production support; to transform, as from January 2021, the supports for cinemas into automatic supports; to suspend, as from January 2021, support for lab projects in its current form and to launch an independent study on the relevance and modalities of support for non-conventional cinematographic projects; and to select, as from January 2020, audiovisual events (festivals, markets, etc.) in which Eurimages will grant support for the development of co-production through calls for expressions of interest.
