Article 311-38 of the French Cinema and Moving Image Code

When two works are made simultaneously from common artistic and technical elements, one intended for first showing in cinemas, the other, longer, intended for first showing on a television service or for making available to the public on an on-demand audiovisual media service, only the difference in duration between these two works is taken into account for the calculation.
