The new Norwegian film fund SØRFOND, financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and managed by the Norwegian Film Institute, will contribute to the completion of films from Southern countries.
With film funds all over Europe facing financial turmoil, the future looks brighter for the newly established SØRFOND - the Norwegian South Film Fund. 38 filmprojects from southern countries have applied for support for 2012.
”A historic day” says Lasse Skagen, the Artistic Director of the Films From the South Foundation. The guidelines for SØRFOND, the new fund supporting film production, are now finally in place.
