MD.IE://Funding/Distribution/Distributor/Selective Scheme

  • Are you eligible?

    • Selective support is for groups of at least five/seven European companies in countries participating in the MEDIA programme distributing a film from another European country in their distribution territory.

  • What activities are eligible?

    • Distribution of any film from another European country: the film must have been majority produced by a producer/producers established in countries participating in the MEDIA programme and made with a significant participation by professionals from those countries. The film must be a recent work of fiction, cartoon or documentary more than 60 minutes long and from a different country than the country of distribution. The copyright of the film cannot be dated earlier than 4 years before the year of submission of the application. Films with a production budget of more than €15 million are not eligible.

  • How does the support work?

    • A group of at least 5 distributors (for small films) or 7 distributors (for medium films) should respond (through a coordinator) to the call for proposals. One or more distributors may join a group which is already receiving support to distribute the same film.

  • Award criteria

    • The Commission selects the groups with the highest score on a grid taking account of:
    -the number of eligible distributors,
    -the production cost of the film,
    -the origin of the film,
    -the type of film,
    -the presence of the selling agent/producer as coordinator and his/her nationality.
    MEDIA also gives priority to permanent groups of distributors.

  • How much support is available?

    • The support can cover up to 50% of the eligible distribution and promotion costs, dubbing and subtitling costs and costs of digital distribution, up to a ceiling of €150,000 per distributed film.
