EUROPEAN GAP-FINANCING CO-PRODUCTION MARKET
Venice, August 29th and 30th
Deadline for the registration of the projects : 27th June, 2014
The Venice International Film Festival plays a central role in the worldwide recognition of quality films from all over the world and especially from Europe. Created in 2012, the Venice Film Market (VFM) is devoted to offer to the key cinema industry players a new rendez-vous and platform to present and discover high-quality films and projects.
The VFM has thus decided to launch a new kind of co-production market targeted to the industry professionals attending the Festival.
The Venice European Gap-Financing Co-Production Market is a platform to support the European producers to secure the final financing of their projects through one-to-one meetings with potential and pertinent international professionals (producers, sales agents, distributors, financiers, broadcasters and funds).
This two days event (August 29th and 30th) will take place during the forthcoming edition of the Venice Film Market (August 28th, September 2nd) and will offer the 16 selected projects (8 European and 8 Italian) the opportunity to close their international financing.
A tailor-made initiative of this kind requests a real confidentiality for the producers and the partners already in place and a first Project line-up will therefore be sent to selected potential financiers and professionals in order to allow them to register to this co-production market.
The catalogue detailing each film project will then be emailed to the registered professionals by the end of July/beginning of August 2014 to entitle them to request 30-minute one-to-one meeting with the producers of the selected projects. The Venice European Gap-Financing Co-Production Market will set up these meetings in accordance with the availability of the participants and meetings slots. Each participant will receive a personalised meeting schedule a few days before the event.
