Deadline: October 22,
2014
Submissions are open for Call
for Project for the 12th Berlinale Co-Production Market (February 8 to 10,
2015), which will take place as part of the 65th Berlin International Film
Festival (February 5 to 15).
For this new edition, the organisation is again looking
forward to finding new, fresh and promising projects that can be matchmade with
potential co-production and financing partners to help them get made.
“We are inviting experienced producers from around the world
who are looking for international partners to submit a feature-length fiction
project with at least 30% financing (or the local production funding) in place.
Budgets can range from 1 to 20 million Euro (for projects from Greece, Portugal
and Spain the budget requirements will be waived). As a new special feature this
year we also invite “Berlinale Directors” - directors whose films have been
screened in one of our Festival Sections in previous years - to submit their
new projects even if they do not fulfil our financing criteria,” say the
organisers.
The deadline for project submissions is October 22, 2014.
The submission form and more detailed information - along
with the specific project requirements for the Berlinale Co-Production Market -
can be found online at:
This year’s selection will be made by December 22, 2014 and
will be published in January.
The Berlinale Co-Production Market is a three-day service
and networking platform designed for producers, financiers, sales agents,
distributors, broadcasters and funding representatives who are working in
international co-productions.
At the Berlinale Co-Production Market, you have the
opportunity to present your project – if it is selected - to interested
co-production partners and financiers in pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings.
Participants who attend without their own projects, can
request meetings with the selected projects and the selected companies in the
Company Matching Programme. They can visit the framework programme which offers
opportunities to catch up on film financing news in case studies and workshops,
get first-hand information on co-production opportunities in specific regions
at the Countries-in-Focus Sessions,
or learn from experts and exchange experiences in Theme Talks. Informal Speed
Matchings, cocktail receptions and the Producers’
Lounge provide additional opportunities for networking.
39 projects from all over the world as well as five
well-established companies in the Company Matching Programme were presented at
the Berlinale Co-Production Market 2014. Some 500 international industry
professionals attended the event and met in more than 1,000 pre-arranged
individual meetings.
