Recognising the great potential for film production and post production in South East Europe a group of legal experts have gathered to develop industry expertise and work with organisations and governments supporting this fledgling sector.
Karanovic & Nikolic, continuing it co-operation with the Sarajevo Film Festival (SFF) in 2016 has also developed a new level of collaboration by participating in the CineLink Industry Days, a part of the festival that hosted prominent members of the European film business community for a series of expert panels on various topics of relevance, chairing one of them in the process.
Karanovic’s panel was headlined Changing Film Financing Landscape in the Region: What will the Surge in Tax Incentive Schemes Bring?, and it provided a platform to launch the firm’s latest entertainment law industry group and a presentation of its Film Production Guide – produced with the help of the SFF and the first in a series of similar guides which will deal with specific areas of the entertainment industry.
Leonid Ristev, senior associate at Karanović & Nikolić, moderated the panel which hosted Boban Jevtic, the director of Film Center Serbia, and Sanja Ravlic, the Croatian representative at Eurimages.
The discussion covered an overview of incentives offered by the countries in the SEE region, as well as on other underlying regulatory factors which are expected to shape the outlook of film production in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Serbia in the next couple of years. By informing European and US players in particular about the opportunities available for them in these markets and highlighting the legal and regulatory challenges faced, Karanovic hopes to spark even great interest in film production and eventually developing new jobs in this dynamic sector.
