Producers Meet Producers

Sunday 20 September

Nordisk Panorama Forum for Co-financing of Documentaries kicks off with the networking event Producers Meet Producers, which features snappy presentations, tailored match-making and round table discussions.

The event is designed to facilitate the efforts to find suitable co-production partners and form the bonds necessary to access funds across borders.

At this event, selected producers from the Nordic and Baltic countries, as well as this year’s delegation of selected DAE (Documentary Association of Europe) members will have the chance to present themselves and their ambitions to each other in round table sessions. As well as cross border co-production, discussions will focus on current challenges and best practices in documentary production.

Besides introducing themselves individually, producers from the visiting delegation will outline their production landscape.

In addition, the event offers insight into the Nordic film institutes’ rules and requirements, and the ways that they can support co-productions with companies in their country.

Producers have the opportunity to apply during accreditation.

We are looking forward to many good matches being made!
