MANNHEIM MEETING PLACE 2013 – THE FILM INDUSTRY AS PART OF IFF MANNHEIM HEIDELBERG
In 2012 the 3rd Mannheim Meeting Place hosted a selection of 60 co-producers, sales agents, TV buyers ,film distributors, financial and legal experts during the IFF Mannheim Heidelberg. (in 2013 a participant increase of 25% is allocated.)
Starting in summer 2012, out of 35 co-production projects submitted, 15 made it to MMP Project Outline stage, reaching 30 minority co-producers from 25 countries. Of these, 8 projects finally arrived on the MMP Market table in Mannheim in November.
50% of “matching” attempts in 2012 were made BEFORE the November event. And 1 of those final 8 projects arrived in Mannheim matched already….
Mannheim Meeting Place starts each August for a November deadline. It is the only co-production market that takes on start-up art-house producers for a 10 week co-production matching session each year.
Continual feedback (anonymous at first) from more experienced minority co-producers and world-class industry experts guarantees an upgrade to any start-up producer’s profile among his or her professional peers.
There is no quality committee at MMP – progress is by natural selection. Where MMP cannot raise interest in or help with a project it is laid aside.
While the system of MMP Residents includes top world figures in the Legal, Financial, Literary, Music and other film sectors – all available to participants at Mannheim Meeting Place.
If you think there is a place for you at MMP 2013 , either as a:
start-up producer on your first or second majority arthouse production, looking for coproduction partners,
OR as a more experienced minority producer with a proven arthouse track record looking for projects into your territory
OR as an arthouse sales company, or industry expert, or responsible for arthouse acquisitions or sales,
please link to www.iffmh.de/en and follow MMP/MANNHEIM MEETING PLACE
(For co-producers this links through to the MMP Producer Guidelines which are necessary to follow for primary submission. Submissions close September 5th, though a July/August start is recommended.
