The film inquiry is thorough and we view the proposals positively. The cooperation proposed in the model with a film fund means that Swedish film gets a more stable foundation, says Anna Croneman, the CEO of the Swedish Film Institute in a press release.
The Institute welcomes the clarification of the SFI's independent role, the new film fund and also the initiative for a national film heritage center. The Film Institute believes that Swedish film is primarily facing financial challenges, but is ready for a new start. The SFI believes that the streaming services have had both positive and negative impact and the Film Institute thinks that clearer rules are needed to ensure that Swedish film is not weakened in the competition.
Sweden is a film country with outstanding creative capacity. With the right conditions and stable financing, creators and producers can deliver a wide range of films that also reach their audience. Films that touch, engage and live on for generations even in the future. An updated film policy is crucial to achieve this, says Anna Croneman.
