Film Foundation

On 14.03.2013 Estonia’s first regional film fund – the Viru Film Fund – was established.

The initiators and financiers of the Fund were four rural municipalities of Ida-Viru County – Toila, Jõhvi, Mäetaguse, and Illuka rural municipalities and NPM Silmet AS. The partners of the Fund were the Ida-Viru Enterprise Center, the Jõhvi Concert Hall, and the Estonian Digital Center

Since 2019, the Viru Film Fund has increased; the Fund’s co-financing comes from the Ida-Viru County program. The regional financiers of the Fund are the Jõhvi rural municipality, the Toila rural municipality, Kohtla-Järve city, the Alutaguse rural municipality, and the Lüganuse rural municipality.

The Fund is open to new donors.
