Berlinale Co-Production Market: Experienced Producers and Berlinale Directors May Submit New International Feature Film Projects until October

Berlinale Co-Production Market: Experienced Producers and Berlinale Directors May Submit New International Feature Film Projects until October 22

As the Berlinale's service platform for industry professionals working in international co-productions, the Berlinale Co-Production Market offers producers a chance to introduce their selected new feature projects. With its efficient meeting coordination and a focused framework programme, it also allows participants with a very tight festival schedule to discover the most promising pre-selected projects, to learn about new financing opportunities and to exchange ideas on current topics

Until October 22, experienced producers from around the world may submit new feature film projects to the Berlinale Co-Production Market 2015. With budgets between one and twenty million euros, the projects should be suitable for international co-production and have 30% of their financing already in place.

Special this year is that Berlinale directors (directors who have previously shown a film in one of the Festival's sections) may enter their new projects even if they do not meet all the Berlinale Co-Production Market's financing criteria.

By December, roughly 25 projects will have been selected from the entries for the Berlinale Co-Production Market. Another ten projects will be presented at the Talent Project Market in cooperation with Berlinale Talents.

During the 12th Berlinale Co-Production Market (February 8-10, 2015), the team will again organize over 1000 customised one-on-one meetings for the selected projects with potential co-producers, financiers, world sales agents, distributors, as well as representatives of TV channels and funding bodies.
