What it is

The fund is administered jointly by the FFA (German Film Promotion Fund) and the CNC (French National Cinema Centre). Eligible films must be feature-length, animation, fiction, or documentary films (minimum 79 minutes, or 59 minutes for children's films) planned for theatrical release in both countries. The co-production ratio between the two countries must be between 80-20 percent (or 90-10 in justified exceptions). Third country participation is permitted if below both German and French shares.
