Subsection 2: Direct allowances

Direct allocations are granted in addition to the sums invested by the production companies when the short cinematographic works give rise to production expenses in France for at least 80% of their final cost or of the French share in the case of an international co-production, up to a maximum of 160% of the cumulative amount of the sums invested and the direct allocations.

The amount of the direct allocation is equal to 95% of the sums invested under article 411-11, up to a limit of €15,000 per work.

Direct allocations are subject to the same payment and repayment conditions as investment allocations, of which they are an accessory.
