Nordic Co-Production and Film Financing Forum

   
19 - 20 August 2010

This is a two-day event targeting producers, investors, film funds and sales agents with a professional interest in co-productions. In this 5h edition of the forum there will be a focus on co-producing with Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the various Nordic countries.


Nordic Co-Production Forums goal is to support the producers of feature-length fiction film projects that contain a link to the Nordic regions. Qualifying features will be produced or co-produced by a country in this area or are movies that contain story elements based in this region.

Here you can find the programme for last year's Nordic Co-Production Forum.

Who may participate?
Production companies in the Nordic countries, Canada, Germany, Switzerland and Austria may submit their feature film projects to be considered for participation. Producers from other countries may also apply with a film project if it has a link to the Nordic countries either in story or by actively seeking a Nordic co-producer.

A selection of these project submissions will then be made based on criteria described below. Descriptions of the projects will be published in our New Nordic Films catalogue which will be distributed during the event. It will also be electronically mailed to every participant before the event.

In Haugesund
Based upon this catalogue information, the participants may submit requests concerning which producers of the various projects they would like to meet during the forum. Individual meetings will then be set up by the festival organizers. Every participant will receive his/her personal schedule upon arrival.

We will create an environment that will help the participants acquaint themselves with financial opportunities and contemporary trends within the international market. There will also be inspiring debates and case studies of high relevance for the international film industry focusing upon the opportunities inherent in co-productions.
