What Minority Co-production means
The programme concerns film projects in which the Greek side participates as a minority co-producer. This funding round supports partnerships between Greek production companies and international filmmakers and productions, strengthening Greek participation in projects developed beyond the country’s borders.
Our view
The list stands out for the range of international filmmakers involved and for the participation of Greek production companies across seven different projects. For the Greek film sector, the programme’s value lies in enabling participation in international co-productions from the financing stage.
