An agreement was signed during the Cannes Film Festival to strengthen ties between the film and TV industries in Denmark and New Zealand.
The document marking the formal co-production collaboration was signed by Henrik Bo Nielsen of the Danish Film Institute and New Zealand Film Commission's Dave Gibson today, 19 May.
The new status means that Danish films can apply for funding in New Zealand and vice versa. Further changes mean that those applying will find parts of the procedure simplified, as resident permits will be easier to obtain and processes will be ratified on the transportation of equipment between the two countries.
Nielsen said of the agreement: "We are really pleased to have reached an agreement with New Zealand. It gives us great opportunities for launching new and exciting projects. We have similar treaties with Canada and France; this time we have made sure to cover the entire audiovisual field, thus including television, computer games and cross-media in the agreement.”
