Costs related to the presentation of European film:
Print traffic

Festivals focussing on archeology or anthropology, medicine, ornithology, science, environment, tourism, sport, commericals, live-broadcast events, music videos, non-narrative artistic works, mobile phone films and video games are not eligible.
The eligible applications will be ranked according to the following award criteria:
The European dimension of the programming 15%
