The agreement will allow Ukraine to co-produce series with European partners and attract international financing.
Ukraine signed the Council of Europe Convention on the co-production of audiovisual works in the form of series. This was announced by Culture Minister Tetiana Berezhna on Facebook.
The document opens up the opportunity for Ukraine to create series in collaboration with European partners, attract international funding, and access new markets.
"This is an important step toward Ukraine's integration into the European cultural and audiovisual space. For the first time we regulate series coproduction," Berezhna emphasized.
The Convention provides for the possibility of obtaining official co-production status. This gives project participants a defined share of rights to the created product and incomes from its use.
The document also establishes a minimum contribution from partners in multilateral co-productions. According to the minister, this creates additional opportunities for Ukrainian creative teams to participate in large-scale international projects.
The Convention was signed during the Carpathian Integration Summit, which is taking place 18–20 in September.
At the same time, in June 2024 of this year, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine ratified the Council of Europe Convention on joint cinematic production. Its aim is to strengthen international cultural and economic cooperation, expand access of the Ukrainian film industry to international markets, and promote Ukrainian films at international film festivals and platforms.
