anniversary with a new CEO at the helm: Writer, producer and chair of the EBU Fiction Expert GroupThis week, the executive heads to the Göteborg Film Festival as one of the event’s key figures. There, she will preside thePrize ceremony and introduce this year’s jury: Actor Moa Gammel , actor Jakob Oftebro journalist Cecilie Asker of Norway’s Aftenposten, and producer-director Dariusz Jablonski. Five Nordic drama series will compete for this year’s prize of NOK 200,000 .
Last year, the Fund’s largest-ever documentary support was given to Danish production “Scandinavian Star” while record film support went to SF Studios’ fiction period drama “Margrete – Queen of Denmark.” 2020 is likely to see similar output, with the fund boasting a record high budget of NOK 127 million , up from last year’s total of NOK 97.75 million .
With this year’s record budget, do you hope to finance more projects, or bigger budget projects, or a mix of both? Outside of production, can you share other areas you want to focus your efforts? You’ve talked about exhibition, what about marketing, festivals or other live events?
