Baltic Films

Baltic Films is the association comprised of the three state financed governmental film bodies, overseeing the film branch, in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Estonia is represented by Estonian Film Foundation, Latvia by National Film Centre of Latvia, Lithuania by the Ministry of Culture.

The film bodies of the respective countries grant governmental financial support to independent producers, provide information about local film production and studio facilities, act as an intermediary with festivals and other events and co-operate with the relevant international and national organisations.

Founded in 2000, Baltic Films has mainly focused on promoting films from Baltic countries abroad, participating at the key film markets and cooperating with festivals and film days.

Baltic Films also hosts Baltic Sea Documentary Forum held in Riga, Latvia and Baltic Event, taking place in Tallinn, Estonia. Baltic Sea Documentary Forum is a documentary project market and workshop bringing together documentary filmmakers, as well as commissioning editors and representatives of the film funds from throughout Europe. The Forum is accompanied by documentary film screenings. The Baltic Event introduces the region‘s film projects and feature production to international film and TV professionals. The Co-production market revolves around one-to-one meetings between project representatives and potential financiers.

Baltic Films has been an EFP member since 2003.

"EFP offers a greater opportunity to the films from smaller regions like the Baltic states to be noticed on an international level. We are very happy for that." Tristan Priimägi, Estonian Film Foundation
