11 projects receive innovation support this autumn

This second round of the year shows a strong interest in exploring new forms of storytelling and innovative ways of working. The applications range from immersive environments and digitally enhanced narratives to projects developing formats tailored for social media, apps, and other digital platforms. Several projects also use technical tools to support both production and visual expression.

A wide range of projects

The funded projects cover a broad spectrum of approaches: from VR-based visualisation and technology-driven documentary work, to the development of digital 3D environments for virtual production and XR-based animation techniques. Several initiatives are also developing web series and short-form content adapted to digital channels where moving-image content is most often consumed today. 

There is also a focus on diversity and representation, with several projects exploring identity, accessibility, and different communities through both content and process. Taken together, the projects highlight the region’s strong innovative capacity, where new ways of working, new forms of storytelling, and new production methods are helping to drive the development of film, TV, and moving image.

Examples include Ensamhet på öar i VR by Studio Jox, which uses VR to bring research-based material about social structures and isolation in Swedish island communities to life. VP Nordic's Virtuella Göteborg is developing digital 3D environments of the city using AI technology, which can be used in Virtual Production and other contexts where visual environments are needed. In Yarn Barn by Stereocolor, XR-based animation is explored with movements controlled in real time, while Perttunen Films with Skuggan bakom allting develops a short format adapted for social platforms.

Collaboration between Lindholmen Science Park and the City of Gothenburg

The funding program has been jointly administered by Film & TV Lindholmen at Lindholmen Science Park and the City of Gothenburg’s Department of Culture, in line with the Cultural Affairs Committee’s guidelines for innovation funding.
