Co-Production basically allows for South African producers to join forces with producers from other countries with whom we have treaties, and access their government funding mechanisms as well as our own. As much as 80% of a budget can therefore come from overseas government funds.
Our Co-production partners include Canada, Italy, Germany and the UK, with unconfirmed buzz of more to come (France / Australia / New Zealand?) later this year.
Read the guidelines here. And read more here on the principles of Co-Production from the Knowledge Foundation, authors of the above chart.
