Code of Production Credits
The Audiovisual Producers’ Association of Greece (SAPOE) believes that audiences deserve to know the range of responsibilities of the producers appearing in a film’s credits and who contributed to its implementation.
The attribution of credits, whose application is recommended to all producers, has been adopted in national legislation and international practice.
