Cinema Distribution The Selective Scheme | Print |
The Selective support scheme aims to foster the wider transnational distribution of non-domestic European films and to encourage theatrical distributors in particular to invest in promotion and adequate distribution for non-domestic European films. It also aims to encourage the establishment and consolidation of co-operation networks between European distributors, as well as cooperation between distributors, Sales Agents and/or producers.

Groupings of at least 5 European theatrical distribution companies may apply for support for the theatrical distribution of any recent work of fiction, animation and creative documentaries with a minimum duration of 60 minutes. The work must have been majority produced by companies established in one or more countries participating in the MEDIA 2007 Programme and been made with a significant participation by professionals who are citizens/residents of the countries participating in the MEDIA Programme.

Films with a production budget over €15 million are not eligible for support.
One or more distributors may join a group which is already receiving support to distribute the same film. MEDIA also gives priority to permanent groups of distributors.

MEDIA can cover up to 50% of the eligible costs for a distribution campaign to a maximum level of 150,000 Euro per distributor per film distributed.
