Subject: Confirmation of interest in continuing participation in the Pilot Programme for Series Co-Productions
Dear Mr Matjaž Gruden,
It is with great satisfaction that I can confirm on behalf of Ministry of Culture that we will continue to support the Pilot Programme for Series Co-Production.
The programme has elevated the development of Estonian TV-series both internationally and locally. The independent series you kindly refer to, Detective Von Fock, supported under the scheme, is distributed internationally and has become the most successful series launch for the national broadcaster ETV. The Council of Europe Series Co-Production Development Award, presented during the Industry@Tallinn and Baltic Event TV Beats subsection has had equally crucial role in enhancing the series production environment in the Baltic states.
We welcome the continuation of the pilot programme for the period of two years and are willing to commit the support on the level of the previous period.
We are looking forward to contributing to successful implementation of the series co-production.
Yours sincerely,
Heidy Purga
Minister of Culture
