IMAGE FUNDS 1/2

The Image is a fundamental component of culture.
Within the framework of globalization and with the commercial domination of the USA in the fields of the cinema and audio-visuals, maintaining and developing our own individual culture (that is now showing signs of widely welcomed creativity), allow, together with other aids, to compensate for the relative narrowness of our basic markets.

Our cinema, with the aid of the CNC, was able to consolidate its presence on the world market in 2001, which was a very satisfactory year.
EUROPEAN FUNDS

The MEDIA programme provides for various schemes that are held up at the moment as the documents have not yet been drawn up.

Selective aid for cinema distribution is an aid for European distributors on launching a non-national European film.

Participation is a maximum of 50% of the costs, partly reimbursable.

Europe also makes requests for tenders on specific projects

The research perimeters of the RIAM network include sociologists, economists, jurists and creators. RIAM was created to facilitate the circulation of information and the creation of partnerships. For 2001 RIAM has a budget of 20 million EUROS.
