Call for Entries for Berlinale Co-Production Market - Deadline October 21st
Until October 21, experienced producers from around the world may submit new feature film projects to the Berlinale Co-Production Market 2016.
The projects should be suitable for international co-production, have either already secured 30% of the financing or at least the production funding from the home country, and be budgeted between one and twenty million euros.
By December, approximately 25 feature film projects will be selected from the entries for the Berlinale Co-Production Market. Additionally, three projects are currently being developed by the filmmakers Ella Manzheeva, Fernando Eimbcke and Daniel Borgman as part of the Berlinale Residency. Another ten projects will be presented at the “Talent Project Market” in cooperation with Berlinale Talents.
At the 13th Berlinale Co-Production Market (February 14-16, 2016), the team will again organise for the selected projects over 1000 targeted one-on-one meetings with potential co-producers, financiers, world sales agents, distributors, as well as representatives of TV channels and funding bodies. Participants looking for projects in which to become involved as co-producers may apply as from November 2015.
Over 200 feature films selected for previous Berlinale Co-Production Markets have been realised to date, i.e., nearly 50% of the projects have been made into films.
The Berlinale Co-Production Market is part of the European Film Market. The main partners of the Berlinale Co-Production Market have been the MDM - Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung since 2004, and Creative Europe - MEDIA, a programme of the European Union since 2005.
