The yearly budget is €11million and Film i Väst has so far invested in more than 350 feature films.

Film i Väst has actively been working to create a strong infra- structure for film making in Western Sweden paying special interest in production companies with an ability to create growth and good content on a long term basis. info@filmivast.se The Swedish Film Institute has been tasked by the government to implement film policy in Sweden. Its remit is to strengthen film at every stage – to support the production of new films, the distribution and screening of films of value, to preserve Sweden’s film heritage and make it accessible, and to represent Swedish film at an international level. The Swedish Film Institute’s operations are financed partly by state funding and partly through the Film Agreement, which is a voluntary agreement between the state and the film and TV industry. Under the film agreement, the cinemas’ VAT is reduced and in return they pay the Swedish Film Institute 10% of each cinema ticket sold. registrator@sfi.se PACT is the UK trade association that represents and promotes the commercial interests of independent feature film, television, digital, children’s and animation media companies. PACT is the largest representative group of screen- based content producers in the UK and the largest trade association in the film, television, digital and interactive media sectors. PACT offers a range of business services to its members, actively lobbies government organizations at local, regional, national and European level and negotiates minimum trading terms with the major UK broadcasters.
