Nationality of film/video. Determining the nationality of
a film/video has become a maj or problem with the increasing
growth of multinational co-productions. In the most simplis-
tic terms, nationality of a film can be ascribed to the nation-
ality of the producer who is artistically responsible for the
production. In the case of bilateral and multilateral co-
production agreements the following factors should be taken
into account when deciding the nationality of a ftlm: the
nationality of the production company and its directors, the
nationality of the authors (scriptwriters, screenplay authors,
etc.), the actors and technical staff, etc. Cf. European Audio-
