Any application submitted outside of the scheduled dates will be rejected. Applications can only be submitted online. Practical documents to download: Instructions for online submission The Aide aux cinémas du monde (ACM) is a selective grant awarded to a production company established in France.
It is reserved for feature-length fiction, animation or creative documentary projects intended for initial theatrical release in France and with a final screening time of more than one hour. It may be granted before filming or after filming. The application is submitted by a production company established in France.
The production company cannot submit more than one application for support from each committee for the same ACM session. The same project by the same director may not be the subject of more than two applications for pre-filming support. A second application is possible unless all members of the reading committee unanimously disagree.
The application for post-filming support is submitted by the production company established in France and only concerns projects that have not been selected for pre-filming support and that have not been screened for the first time publicly at a festival or in cinemas, or broadcasted on a media service on demand prior to the application.
A project that has not been selected for support after filming may not be the subject of a new application. Grants are awarded by the President of the CNC, based on the advice of committees comprising leading figures from the cinematographic industry. The first committee is responsible for examining applications for pre-filming support for first and second feature-length films.
The second committee examines applications for pre-filming support submitted for works by directors who have already made at least two feature films. The third committee examines applications for post-filming support. Each year, 4 sessions are organised and around sixty projects are supported.
The production company applying for funding must be established in France and fulfil the conditions set out in the guidelines available for download on this page. The projects submitted must be part of a coproduction between a production company established in France and a production company established abroad.
The film must be directed by a foreign national (or, in exceptional cases, a French national, but in this case the film may not be shot mainly in the original French version or in a regional language in France). The shooting language must be one of the official language(s) or language(s) in use in the foreign country(ies) of which the director is a national or in the territory where the shooting takes place.
For a fiction work, pre-filming support must be requested before filming starts. For animation, the application must be submitted before the beginning of the fabrication process. As regards documentaries, footage already filmed at the time of application must not exceed 50% of the final edit.
Post-filming support only concerns projects that have not been selected for pre-filming support. The work presented must be at an advanced stage of editing, with a length of more than 60 minutes, and must be close to its final intended length.
Films whose final cost exceeding or equal to €2,500,000 must obtain a certification from the CNC with a minimum of 20 points on the financial support scale for foreign-initiated films and 25 points for French-initiated films. By exception, the threshold is raised to €4,000,000 for animation works. All eligibility criteria are listed in the description of the scheme, downloadable on this page.
The amount granted is capped at €300,000 for pre-filming support (€250,000 for projects submitted before June 1st, 2024). For French-initiated works with a budget exceeding or equal to €2,500,000 (or €4,000,000 for animation), this amount is increased to €500,000 (€450,000 for projects submitted before June 1st, 2024).
