    We evaluate a project based on its audience and artistic potential, as well as the talent involved.

    In an international co-production, the international producer must collaborate with an established Swedish production company. It is the Swedish company that submits the co-production application via Film i Väst’s application portal.

    The project is discussed in a meeting with the Production Group, and a decision is communicated within six weeks. Following a positive decision and the signing of a co-production agreement, we provide ongoing feedback on the script, production, distribution, and any festival targets.

    A requirement is that part of the filming and/or post-production takes place in Västra Götaland. The producer must guarantee that at least 100 percent of the investment is spent in the region. See Film i Väst’s regulations for more details.

    With support from Film i Väst’s production advisors and the database filmservice.se, productions can access regional production companies, post-production houses, suppliers, crew, actors, extras, and vendors—all of which qualify as eligible spend. Studios are also available in the region, such as Studio Fares in Trollhättan, which features a Virtual Production wall.
