Asymmetrical co-productions refer to those type of the co-productions that take place between countries with different costs levels, countries that differ in financing capacities, and countries that greatly differ in market size.

This is the perfect opportunity to connect with potential co-producers and catch up with representatives from the most important international co-production markets and producer networks. Kick off the night with Co-Pro Markets Catch-Up, where global producers meet up and network over refreshments and bites with partnering organizations. Then join us for the second part of the evening and sing your HEART out with the Co-Pro Night Live Band, featuring the best (and worst!) of 80s pop music!
