Local Funding
Regional Council of North Karelia started a funding for audiovisual projects in 2013. Funding is for productions that will be produced in East Finland Film Commission’s operation area, North Karelia. Audiovisual funding is for production and post-production.
The amount of production funding to be granted is proportional to the amount of services, purchases, wages, etc. used in the North Karelia region, which must be at least four times the amount of the fund granted (including fund). Applications can be submitted to the Regional Council of North Karelia continuously. Applications are processed as necessary.
