Stories connect people. In the case of film production, they connect us even in financial terms as so many European films and TV series can only come to life through the collaboration of producers from many different countries.
But how does co-production work? What funding are you eligible for if you and your co-producer are from different countries? Our workshop European Co-Production – Legal and Financial Aspects offers a comprehensive overview of the legal and financial elements of co-productions. Inside reports, hands-on tips, and interactive learning will support participating professionals in handling the changing complexities of European co-productions successfully.
