Davis was talking in Rotterdam where a contingent of Scotland-based writers were in attendance.
Isabel Davis, executive director of Screen Scotland, has called for the UK to re-join Eurimages, the Council of Europe’s cultural support fund as the UK prepares to leave the European Union.
“Rejoining Eurimages would certainly benefit Scotland,” Davis suggested. “While the UK is enjoying a production boom 95% driven by Us finance, those more national scale economies such as Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales attract a very different scale of production.
“That’s to do with our facilities, the level of crew, the local creative talent.

Dubai Film Market is introducing a selection of Indian projects for the first time this year through a partnership with Europe’s Pjlf Three Rivers Residency.
The five projects are being scripted by hot new talents such as Kanu Behl, whose debut feature Titli premiered at Cannes’ Un Certain Regard in 2014, and Raj Rishi More, whose project is being produced by The Lunchbox director Ritesh Batra.
The Three Rivers residency provides writer-directors with a month-long distraction-free space to work on their scripts in the Italian countryside, with the help of an expert mentor, before presenting their projects at Diff. Although focusing on Indian projects in its first year, the organisers hope to open the programme to international writer-directors, including those from the Arab world, from next year.
“We feel writers sometimes need a much more concentrated period to hone their ideas and get away from all the distractions of a day job and daily life,” said producer...
