    What this call funds

    This call supports the cross border distribution of European films that are not from the distributor's home country. It funds a two phase scheme where a company first builds a potential fund based on its market performance, then reinvests that fund into co producing, acquiring distribution rights for, and promoting and marketing non national European films, both theatrically and online.
