EDITORIAL
The Marché du Film, in collaboration with Olffi.com (Online Film Financing), publish for
the first time, the FUNDS BOOK, a guide of the Public Funding organizations attending
or represented this year at the Festival de Cannes.
This guide presents different types of financing schemes such as tax incentives, national
or regional funding programs offered by those organizations.
The FUNDS BOOK is specifically designed for film producers and professionals. It should
help them having a better knowledge of financing mechanisms in the framework of
international coproductions.
