A new initiative to raise money for a residency

During Göteborg Film Festival 2025 a new initiative is being launched to promote artistic freedom. The goal is to raise money for residencies for filmmakers working under difficult circumstances in countries where artistic freedom and free speech are under pressure. The residencies will be subject for open calls and the selection process will be conducted by representatives from Göteborg Film Fund as well as international experts.
