AUTOMATIC DISTRIBUTION Every year distributors across Europe report to the MEDIA sub-programme on cinema admissions for the non-national European films they released in the previous year. These admission figures form the basis for the calculations of the Automatic Distribution scheme grants, which can be used to pay minimum guarantees or print and advertising costs of new non-national European acquisitions. At the time of going to print the results for this scheme in 2018 were not yet published. The annual average generated by UK distributors in previous years is â‚Ź455,442 and we have included this in our totals for 2018. With the grants generated in previous years UK distributors acquired distribution rights and released 10 films in 2018, including Loro (Curzon Film World), Summer 1993 (New Wave) and The Breadwinner (Studiocanal).
The Automatic Distribution funding received by Curzon Film World has supported the acquisition and release of various European films in the UK, including Italian/French co-production, Loro. Image courtesy of Curzon Artificial Eye.
