Co-Produce with Norway
November 1st 2009 the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-Production entered into force in Norway, thus becoming the 40th country to adjust to the European Council's regulations for financing European co-productions.
The endorsement of the convention will make Norwegian producers more attractive for minority co-productions, and make it much simpler for foreign producers to co-produce with Norway.
Prior to entering the Convention foreign films have fallen outside the valuable box office support scheme in Norway. The system has now been adapted to the convention, so that from now on European co-productions may benefit from the various Norwegian support schemes, provided that a Norwegian co-producer is on the team.
Finding a local co-producer is often the key challenge for European producers looking to Norway. To facilitate this process, Western Norway Film Commmission provides free co-production liaison services.
