Objectives
This call for proposals aims to follow one of the objectives of the MEDIA programme which is to encourage and support the wider transnational distribution of recent European films by providing funds to distributors, based upon their performance on the market, forfurther reinvestment in new non-national European films.
The scheme also aims to encourage the development of links between the production and distribution sectors thus improving the market share of European films and the competitiveness of European companies.
Actions

- minimum guarantees or advances paid for the international sales rights on new European non-national films;
- and/or in the promotion, marketing and advertising on the market of new non-national European films.
