The European Producers Club (EPC) is launching a call for projects for its next Co-production Forum, which will take place during the Cannes Film Festival 2010, on Saturday, May 15th, from 1 to 5 pm.
As part of our efforts to strengthen the European film industry, the EPC yearly organises four Co-production Forums aimed at offering producers developing a project the possibility to meet a range of film professionals (co-producers, distributors, sales agents, etc.) based on their project's needs.
If selected, you will have the opportunity to:
· Meet individually a wide variety of film professionals according to your project’s needs, including producers, sales agents, distributors, film commissions, etc.;
· All projects selected to participate in one of our Forums will be automatically selected to participate in the following Forums organised during the year;
· Project-holders will benefit from the support of the EPC in-between events.
· In Cannes, project-holders will have access to a sales consultant, able to answer all their questions on the strategy they should follow on the international market.
In order to participate, you may send us your project using the application form you will find in our website under the section “Application Form”: www.europeanproducersclub.org
Conditions:
· Producers with, at least, two films produced and released in movie theatres are eligible
· A selected project will be automatically chosen in following events (only under producer’s approval and confirmation)
· When selected, participants will be charged a participation fee of 200€ / Forum (free of charge for EPC and ECN Members)
· Deadline: April 9th, 2010
Since 2002, the EPC has successfully organised 41 Co-Production Forums, involving over 3,000 participants.
In 2009, 80 projects from 21 European countries were presented at the EPC forums. Our goal to provide a suitable number of meetings for each project was well met, since 451 meetings were set up between professionals from 24 different European countries. Selected projects included some award-winning directors such as Peter Greenaway, Agnieszka Holland and Renny Harlin, and recently released films such as Il Divo by Paolo Sorentino, and Lemon Tree by Eran Riklis.
