Due to the cut in the compensation for private copying, we have not yet received the funds for this year. However, we will open the call for applications for some of the grants with the help of grant funds carried over from last year and the national funds granted by the Kopiosto Board.

AVEK's source of funding, the compensation for private copying, will be halved in 2025. We are now waiting for information on how the compensation will be distributed to the different actors and what the share of our funds will be in 2025.

As the pandemic has most affected filmmakers with fewer possibilities, we felt the need to show solidarity. Thus, AVEK, the Promotion Centre of Audiovisual Culture in Finland will direct 30 000€ to support documentary projects of the global south.
