For the allocation of automatic financial aid for the creation and modernisation of cinemas, the automatic cinema exhibition account is opened for each cinema in the name of the owner of the business or, in the absence of a business, in the name of the owner of the premises housing the cinema.
When the owner does not operate the cinema himself, he may delegate to the operator the right to invest the sums held in the account. In this case, the sums may only be invested in the modernisation of the establishment in question.
