The Nordic Short Film Pitch
Saturday 23 Sept, Malmö, 10.00 – 15.00, Scandic Triangeln – Invited Market Guests Only
The aim of The Nordic Short Film Pitch is to make short filmmakers from the Nordic countries meet, exchange experiences and find partners for potential future collaborations and co-productions. Simultaneously they meet international industry decision makers to expand their network.
The initiative is created in close co-operation with the short film commissioners at the Nordic film institutes and public service broadcasters and takes place during Nordisk Panorama Film Festival.
This year we collaborate with Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival to bring a French delegation to network and bring forward the French co-production landscape.

30 Seconds to the Top – Nordisk Panorama Elevator Pitch
Scandic Triangeln Monday 26 Sept, 13.00 – 14.00
Can you pitch your film idea in 30 seconds?
Have you ever imagined being stuck in an elevator with a decision maker?
Nordisk Panorama is initiating the elevator pitch, so take the chance to pitch to a decision maker on a 30 second elevator ride.
If you have a story in an early script stage or just an outline, you’ll be paired on an elevator ride together with a decision maker where you can take the opportunity to see if your idea can be told clear and concise in a short elevator ride. On the way up, it’s all about your idea. On the way down, it’s their turn to give feedback. Are you ready?
The pitch takes place during Nordisk Panorama Film Festival. Submissions will open in May/June.
12 project in early development pitched in the elevator.
The event is sponsored by Scandic Triangeln.

The presentations and consecutive one-to-one meetings take place at Nordisk Panorama Market on Sunday 24 September 2023.
The Work-in-Progress presentations follow up on former Nordisk Panorama Forum pitches and pitches at fora around the world. All projects presented are looking for a last push to be finalised, a sales agent/distributor or festival premiere.
