This book offers the first transnational account of screen agencies as a collective body supporting and shaping the European screen sector. Alternatively known as film funds or film institutes, screen agencies are publicly funded bodies which intervene at each stage of the value chain for film and television content. Agencies such as the Danish Film Institute, Creative Scotland, Screen Ireland and Northern Ireland Screen perform a diverse range of functions including allocating funds, developing talent, fostering international collaborations, and promoting cultural value. They play a crucial role in mitigating the risks associated with creative production, and within smaller nations - the focus of this research - their attempts to leverage scale make their role even more significant within the sector. Using original empirical research gathered from interviews conducted with those working within national agencies in Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, this book offers critical insight into international screen production through the institutional lens of screen agencies.
