MEDIA Programme: Sales Agents

This annual scheme offers a non-repayable grant. The amount depends on the sales agent's performance in selling European films within a qualifying period. The scheme is designed in two stages: generation and reinvestment.

Support for the transnational distribution of European films — The ‘Sales Agent scheme’. Deadline: June 18, 2013.

DEADLINES:
18/06/2013 (generation)
2/03/2015 (reinvestment)

Eligible actions
The ‘Sales agent’ support scheme works in two phases:
generation of a potential Fund, which will be calculated according to the performance of the company on the European market during the reference period (2008-2012),
reinvestment of the potential Fund thus generated by each company; the Fund must be reinvested in two modules (two types of action) by 2nd March 2015:
minimum guarantees or advances paid for the international sales rights on new European non- national films;
and/or in the promotion, marketing and advertising on the market of new non-national European films.

For the film to be eligible its first copyright must not have been established before 2008.
