"Art house cinemas are at the heart of Hamburg's film culture and help ensure an audience for 'Moin-funded' films. The bonus celebrates and supports this commitment," said Helge Albers, Managing Director of Moin Filmförderung. The amount of support received is calculated according to the number of Moin-funded films, the number of viewers, the size of the cinema and the capacity of the auditorium. Cinemas can each receive a maximum of €10,000.
