Βridge to the North: Finland
Bridge to the North is AGORA’s new synergy initiative between the South and the North of Europe. Each year we will be hosting a different guest country from the Baltic or Nordic region. In this edition, we welcome Finland and invite a delegation of professionals in order to explore new opportunities in financing and artistic ideas, share experiences and focus on the prospects and benefits that can derive from potential collaborations. This year’s Bridge to the North was made possible through the collaboration with the Finnish Film Foundation, the Helsinki International Film Festival and Finnish Film Affair, and the support of the Embassy of Finland in Athens and the Finnish Institute at Athens.

Co-production Details:
International co-productions are eligible for production support from the Finnish Film Foundation when a Finnish co-producer is involved. The Foundation funds around 8 to 10 minority co-productions every year with a support budget of around 1 million euros. Eligibility for co-production support is determined with the following criteria:
The support application is made by the Finnish co-producer. The amount of production support for minority co-productions has ranged from € 15,000 to € 300,000 in recent years, depending on the Finnish creative or technical input. There are no spend requirements for the support, nor is the support recoupable.
