Sources of funding for film projects and prospects for their development

the creation of a film is a costly and labor-intensive process, and therefore the search for sources of financing that can cover all the necessary production costs is the most important and most difficult task for both the film companies themselves and individual potential creators of film projects. At the current stage of development of sources of financing for film projects, four groups are distinguished: public funds, private funds, borrowed funds and crowdfunding. Each group of funding sources is regularly optimized, while acquiring new forms and types of sponsorship. Despite this, some promising ideas for films are not implemented due to lack of budgeting, or are implemented in a different, more budgetary form, thereby reducing its quality. The most optimal collection of funds for the production of a film project is the collaboration of several sources of financing, but even in this case there are shortcomings that do not allow for a complete and prompt collection of funds. The article analyzes the current sources of financing for domestic and foreign film projects, with the aim of their effective merger and complementation of each other, as well as optimization of individual sources of financing.
