ABOUT THE FILM PRODUCERS’ ASSOCIATION

The Latvian Film Producers’ Association was founded in 1993 and is one of the most active public organizations in the industry, uniting producers and major film production studios. The Producers' Association currently has 44 members.

The main goal and task of the association is to promote the development of the audiovisual sector by participating in the development of the sector's policy in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, the National Film Centre, the State Culture Capital Foundation, LIAA and other public organizations within the Film Council and various other local and international councils and associations.
