16/03/2016 - The German Films' Distribution Support committee springs €121,000 on 16 foreign theatrical releases of German films

The second session of the German Films Distribution Support committee led to the allocation of €121,000 to support 16 foreign theatrical releases of local productions. The Distribution Support funding programme was created in 2005 to subsidize additional measures to complement the release campaign already planned by foreign distributors for the German films on their line-up. Up to €50,000 can be allocated in the form of a conditionally repayable loan. Extra funding of up to €10,000 can be allocated as a grant.

The committee decided to support the following films:
