Co-productions that shine

Open Method of Coordination (OMC) group of Member states’ experts on co-productions

Közzétételi metaadat

From the Palme d’Or of the Franco-Italian Il Gattopardo by Visconti in 1963 to the Palme d’Or of the 2021 MEDIA-supported Franco-Belgian Titane by Julia Ducournau, there is a famous European tradition of film co-production, which is rooted in the fertile ground of networks and relationships between European audiovisual professionals. The meaning of “co-production” to professionals is several producers working together to leverage their mutual resources (financial, talent and material) and artistic collaboration, and most importantly to share risks, rights and revenues, in order to produce an audiovisual work. “Official” cinematographic co-productions are covered by international conventions or bilateral agreements. The films are considered “national” in each of the co-producing countries, making them eligible for public funding. The revised Council of Europe Convention on Cinematographic Co-production, which serves as the point of reference, applies two requirements, namely the European nature and the cinematographic nature of the work. Recognising the potential of European co-productions to act as locomotives for the sector, the Council of the European Union in 2019 decided to create an Open Method of Coordination Group of Member State experts to discuss how to stimulate European co-productions. Twenty-six Member States selected experts for this Group, which held six meetings between June 2019 and December 2021. In the present report, which is the result of the OMC on co-productions, we pay attention not only to cinematographic works covered by the revised Council of Europe Convention on Cinematographic Co-production, but also to organic forms of cooperation among EU-27 producers, notably in the field of TV series, a format that is thriving. Whilst fully acknowledging the importance of co-productions with countries outside Europe, the Group decided to focus on co-productions among EU-27 Member States. This paper, Co-productions that shine, is primarily addressed to policy-makers at EU, national and sub-national level, as well as professionals working in the audiovisual industry. For the recommendations to have the greatest possible impact, however, private stakeholders across the whole value chain – from creatives to end-of-chain operators – are encouraged to commit to them and to cooperate among themselves, as well as with public institutions. The members of this OMC group have formulated recommendations for an ecosystem that encourages co-productions among EU-27 countries. Building on its experience with the previous report, European movies on the move, the Group has further proven to be an important arena for sharing experience and best practices from different Member States and different parts of the audiovisual value chain. Effective implementation of the recommendations will be instrumental in the transformation of the European ecosystem.
