Funding Models and Increasing Transnationalism

Abstract

The authors give an outline of how local, national, regional and transnational cooperation has been an increasing Nordic tendency since the 1990s, but also how the traces of such local/global processes in television studies have deeper roots in visions of television as a private, glocal medium. They outline specific, different tendencies across the Nordic region and view the theoretical and historical backgrounds of places and locations in television drama from the perspective of glocalisation. The authors give an account of the funding models applying to television drama production cultures in the Nordic region. Finally, they give examples of how methods of collaboration, co-funding and co-production in Nordic Noir productions across the Nordic region in particular show clear signs of the increasing transnationalisation of television drama.
