Abstract

Co-production implies that there is a majority producer who has initiated the project and one or several minority co-producers who are involved at a later stage. In this chapter, I would like to share some of the insights that have arisen from MEDICI workshops in relation to “minority co-production”, a particular type of official co-production where the financial and creative contribution of one partner is significantly less than another. As the chapter will show, to be a minority co-producer involves certain risks but also numerous advantages.

Nächstes Kapitel ‘Co-development Initiatives in Europe’—an interview with Isabelle Fauvel

MEDICI workshops are organised by FOCAL, a Swiss organisation whose main objective is to set up professional training workshops for the Swiss and international audiovisual industry (www.focal.ch).

For the full text of the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-production, see https://www.coe.int/en/web/conventions/full-list/-/conventions/treaty/220

A new European Convention on Co-production is in the process of being approved by the signatory states to have a 5% minimum contribution instead of the current 10% (for a multilateral co-production) and 20% (for a bilateral co-production).

The exceptions to this are financial co-productions that do not require the creative elements of a project to be shared. In the case of a financial co-production, the role of the minority co-producer is limited to a monetary contribution.

This is generally in proportion to their share of the co-production.

Tax credits, tax shelters and cash rebates are considered “production incentives”.

The Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland) are the exception.

See Danish Film Institute website: https://www.dfi.dk/en/english/funding/minor-coproduction-feature-films.

Criteria such as national distributor confirmed, percentage of funding achieved, minimum number of days shooting, local expenditure and so on.

Project financing by regional funds is mainly based on the amount of the project’s production expenditure on its territory.

For example, in order to receive funding of €100,000, production expenditure in the region for the project must be equal to €400,000.

For information about production incentives in individual countries, see the database of the Online International Film Financing platform at www.olffi.com.

A mini-treaty is an agreement between two funds of different nationalities who want to allocate a specific budget for projects co-produced by both countries. This financial support is selective, and complementary to other public funding available in the two countries concerned.
