European Certificate of British Nationality
Obtaining an European Certificate of British Nationality (formerly known as EC Certificate) from the BFI may give producers more opportunities to exhibit your production in Europe. Some EC countries have quotas on the number of non-EC films exhibited in their countries, so a European Certificate of British Nationality can help you qualify for screen quota and get your film shown.
