Money is scarcer and decisions are made more cautiously. So everyone has gone into collaborative mode. Behind the word “copro” lie different realities, needs and objectives. Co-production agreements may be motivated not only by funding but also by a common language, a shared creative vision, incentives, local know-how… Multifaceted alliances and new support systems seem to be the new norm. For the better? Won’t these global counters crowd out medium-sized projects? How does this work in practice, and what problems are holding back projects and producers? Is the value always worth the headache?
