The co-production and distribution credits behind Borga

The production credits extend beyond the lead producer

Filmportal lists Berlin’s Chromosom Film as producer and credits Ghana’s Deal Real Productions, Stuttgart’s East End Film, SWR and Arte as co-production partners. The Nuremberg festival catalogue identifies the feature as a Germany and Ghana production. Source 1 Source 4

The funding credits cover regional and federal organisations

MFG Baden-Württemberg and HessenFilm und Medien are listed alongside the German Federal Film Fund and the Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media. The credits document sources of support. The amounts from those sources would require the individual funding records. Source 1 Source 5

Festival prizes are a separate line of evidence

The Max Ophüls festival archive and MFG report four awards for Borga in 2021. MFG lists €36,000 attached to the best feature prize, separate from financing for production. The Nuremberg programme describes a 104-minute exhibition version. Source 2 Source 3 Source 4

The broadcaster also gave the film a later viewing window

Arte was both a co-production credit and an exhibition outlet. MFG records the free-to-air broadcast on 14 September 2022 and on-demand availability through 13 October 2022. The catalogue separately lists Across Nations Filmverleih for distribution. Source 1 Source 5
