Luxembourg-Canada incentive now open to applications
The National Audiovisual Production Fund and the Canada Media Fund today announced the launch of the Luxembourg-Canada incentive for the co-development and co-production of audiovisual projects. The incentive was unveiled last February at the Luxembourg City Film Festival, in which the CMF participated. Please download the document below to consult the guidelines.
To be eligible, projects must come from producers who meet each organization's criteria. Projects supported at the development stage will be drama or animation series, animated feature films and digital media projects. The Incentive will also fund digital media projects (including virtual or augmented reality, transmedia projects and enabling technologies) at the production stage.
The combined annual budget for the Incentive Measure will be around €600,000, with each party contributing half, for a total investment of €1,200,000 over the two years of the Incentive Measure.
The maximum total combined contribution will be around €65,000 for each of the television or digital media projects financed in development and +€320,000 for each of the digital media projects financed in production. The contribution allocated by each country to each project will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
The projects will be evaluated and chosen following a selection process by a committee made up of representatives from the FFL and the FMC, as well as an independent expert from a third country chosen by the parties, on the basis of various criteria, including the cultural value of the project and the target audience, the teams' track record and the viability of the project.
