Film Digitisation support

 
 

Eurimages offers digitisation support for the production of DCI-compliant digital masters (minimum 2K) intended for digital cinema projections, VOD, satellite distribution and high resolution internet distribution.

Producers of films supported by Eurimages within the co-production support programme can apply for support once an answer print is available.

Applications should be sent with a laboratory quotation including a detailed cost breakdown of the digitisation services provided by the laboratory and specifically referring to the creation of DCI compliant (minimum 2K) digital cinema master.

The funding can cover 80% of total digitisation costs up to a maximum of €30.000. The production cost of a digital intermediate can henceforth be accepted as eligible.

The support is paid in one installment after the signature of a Letter of Agreement drawn up upon receipt of a copy of the laboratory invoice corresponding to the quotation received with the application.

For futher detail on this programme, please read the current Eurimages digitisation regulations
