The Industry Forum grows this year with a dedicated co-production market, opening three days of meetings between directors, producers and funds.
Twenty projects in development will be presented to an invited room of producers, sales agents and public funds. Selection favoured films at the stage where a partner still changes the outcome, rather than those already financed.
Alongside the market, the Forum keeps its programme of open sessions on distribution, festival strategy and the economics of a first feature. Those sessions remain free for accredited participants.
Applications for the co-production market close six weeks before the festival. Projects from any country are eligible, with no requirement of a national co-producer.
