Call for projects for ACM Distribution

Since 2012, World Cinema Support (Aide aux cinémas du monde - ACM), jointly managed by the CNC and the Institut français, has supported feature films that are the subject of an international co-production with France. Last year, a new component of selective support intended to support and promote the distribution and international circulation of ACM films co-produced with a non-European country was launched in this context, in partnership with the European Commission’s Creative Europe-MEDIA programme, called ACM Distribution. Open to European companies offering innovative international distribution and promotion strategies for one or more ACM films across at least three territories (one of which must be a European country that is not France, and one non-European), the component has now launched its second call for projects.
