III. Grants» Eurimages»

EURIMAGES is an international fund for the support of European Film co-productions established by the European Council in Strasbourg. The support that the fund provides is designated predominantly for feature and documentary films over 70 minutes designed for distribution in cinemas and on which at least two co-producers from member countries of the EURIMAGES fund took part. The fund currently has 34 member countries. The latest country to join was Albania. Negotiations are now being completed over the entry of Russia, which satisfied all formal requirements. Russia is expected to enter in 2011.

The EURIMAGES fund currently meets four times a year. Approximately 30 projects are discussed at each meeting.

Due to greater objectivity in calculating the contributions of the individual countries, a new way was adopted that takes into consideration for the individual countries, among other things, the amount and structure of the national film productions, number of coproductions and the means obtained from the EURIMAGES fund.

In the attempt to make the evaluation as objective as possible and thus also the selection of projects that will be granted support, new rules for evaluating projects were approved.

Due to the success of projects of the Czech Republic, its contribution is gradually increasing.

| EUR
Contribution of the Czech Republic for 2010 | 247,374.91
Funds received for projects with Czech participation | 770,000.00

The Czech Republic was exceptionally successful in 2010 as well and obtain funds that several fold exceeded the country's contribution to the fund.
