Automatic scheme is for European distributors who have already distributed at least one European work from another country (non-national).
The scheme is designed in two stages:
- Phase 1 - Generation stage:
- The support is granted based on the number of viewers of recent non-national European films.
- Phase 2 - Reinvestment stage:
- The financial support granted in Phase 1 is reinvested in new films from other European countries or used for receiving distribution rights of other non-national European films with minimum distribution guarantees or are used for post-filming costs of editing, promotion and distribution costs of non-national European films.
Financial support can cover from 40 to 60% of eligible costs.
