€29.35m has been allocated out of a total of €49m in this funding line’s budget. The recipients of the rest of the funding will be announced over the course of the year.

A total of 76 films will receive funding, of which only one has obtained the maximum amount set at €1m: Juan José Campanella’s Spanish/Argentinean co-production The Secret In Their Eyes [+see also:
