ANCC offers minority co-production support to Albanian producers to participate in high-quality feature films by talented filmmakers from all over the world.
“Minority projects” are film projects realized in co-production, where the Albanian production company is in minority of the total production.
As such are considered projects which guarantee at least one of the following criteria:
