In order to encourage the resumption of filming of cinematographic or audiovisual works, a compensation fund is set up to contribute, through the payment of financial aid to delegated production companies, to the cost of losses linked to the covid-19 epidemic, leading, until 31 March 2023, to the interruption, postponement or abandonment of film shoots taking place on national territory or, under the conditions set out in the seventh paragraph of Article 913-6, on the territory of another Member State of the European Union, and resumed or begun on or after 11 May 2020.
For the purposes of this chapter, filming means the taking of photographs and sound recordings, regardless of the genre of the work.
