The Centrul Naţional al Cinematografiei (National Centre of Cinematography - CNC) announced the results of the subsidising session for the organisation of or attendance in inter-/national film festivals or fairs, the support of cultural and cinematographic education programmes (workshops), the publishing of cinematographic specialised works and for other activities or projects organised from 1 July to 31 December 2011. In addition the CNC announced the results for the second 2010 direct subsidising session for Romanian film productions and the development of cinematographic projects (see inter alia IRIS 2010-2/30 and 2011-2/34).
The CNC granted subsidies for 50 projects and rejected twelve. The total amount of subsidies is RON 4,667,498 (EUR 1,138,400). As a general conclusion, CNC came out in favour of subsidising more competitors for more events with smaller sums. The biggest part of the subsidies (RON 2,999,048 - about EUR 731,500) went to organising 27 film festivals, e.g., the reputed Festivalul Internaţional de Film CINEMAIUBIT. A further ten cinematographic events were allocated RON 1,085,660 (EUR 264,800). Seven cinema workshops were subsidised with RON 350,350 (EUR 85,450) and seven editorial projects with RON 232,440 (EUR 56,700).
As for the direct subsidising session for Romanian film productions and the development of cinematographic projects, the CNC decided to subsidise 24 projects and rejected 70 projects. The total funds awarded were RON 9,990,572 (EUR 2,436,700).
