ACM Distribution is launching a new call for projects to foster innovative distribution strategies under its initiative supported by the MEDIA sub-programme of Creative Europe. The main objective of this fund is to enhance the distribution and circulation of international co-productions worldwide.
This fund is open to feature-length films of all genres, provided they are co-produced by a European and a non-European country. Financial contributions from co-producers established in MEDIA programme member countries must range from 20% to 70% of the film's budget. Selected projects may receive financial assistance of up to €60,000.
Since its inception, ACM Distribution has played a crucial role in supporting the distribution of 68 films in over 50 countries. In 2023, the fund supported international release strategies for movies such as Plan 75 [+see also:

To be eligible for this call for projects, a distribution strategy must cover between three and six territories, with no specific geographical obligation. It is important to note that France cannot be included among the supported distribution territories.
The comprehensive guidelines for this call for projects are available here, on the CNC website.
Industry professionals are invited to submit their distribution strategies before the deadline of 8 March 2024. This opportunity not only provides financial support, but also the chance to increase the visibility of films on an international scale.
ACM Distribution continues to play a key role in promoting cinematic diversity by encouraging collaboration between European and non-European countries. The selected projects will undoubtedly contribute to enriching the global cinematic landscape.
