The Film Co-Production Market & Pitching Forum includes a selection of 15 feature film projects from 8 countries that will be exhibited to domestic and international key players of the sector. As many as 5 of the 12 projects selected are by women directors, proof of the market’s commitment to women’s inclusive growth and working empowerment. Moreover, half the titles are by directors at their first or second work.
In addition to the international selection, for the second year the Film Co-Production Market & Pitching Forum presents WANNA TASTE IT?, a section dedicated exclusively to Italian film projects in development, a true flywheel for the Italian film industry and its talents, thanks to targeted networking with potential buyers and financers, meetings with experts and representatives of institutions and funds.
