Difficult works are considered to be cinematographic, audiovisual or multimedia works for which applications for aid are submitted between 1 October 2020 and 31 December 2021 and for which it is justified that there are particular production or marketing difficulties relating in particular to their financing, production or distribution, given the abnormal market conditions linked to the consequences of the covid-19 epidemic.
The President of the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée may grant exemptions from the conditions relating to the intensity of public aid provided for in this Regulation for these works, at the reasoned request of the company, up to a limit of 80% of eligible costs.
