By way of derogation from 1° of article 212-5, for applications submitted in 2021, financial assistance for the development of projects may be awarded to authors who have collaborated on the production of a cinematographic work of fiction or animation:
1° Either the release of which in cinematographic theatres in France was scheduled for 2020 and could not take place due to measures banning the admission of the public to these theatres;
2° Or the release of which in cinematographic theatres takes place in 2021.
Works falling under 1° and 2° may not be taken into account when awarding the same author a project development grant applied for in 2022.
