SALES AGENTS

This scheme is linked to an agent’s performance in selling European films. The funding awarded depends on the amount of cinema admissions generated by the films sold in the previous calendar year and can be used for acquisitions (sales guarantees) as well as the promotion and marketing costs of non-national European films.

Four UK sales agents, Altitude Film Sales, HanWay Films, Protagonist Pictures and WestEnd Films shared grants totalling €392,704.
