Giving nearly finished films the final push

Work-in-Progress presents 6 nearly finished documentary projects, almost ready to make it onto the world stage. The projects are presented to international and Nordic decision makers in a tailor made event, created to make sure that each project benefited the most from the presentation.

The presentations and consecutive one-to-one meetings take place at Nordisk Panorama Market on Sunday 22 September 2024.

The Nordic Short Film Pitch

Saturday 21 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 the Scottish Documentary Institute and Screen Scotland to bring a Scottish delegation to network and bring forward the Scottish co-production landscape.

30 Seconds to the Top

Nordisk Panorama Elevator Pitch

Can you pitch your film idea in 30 seconds? Have you ever imagined being stuck in an elevator with a decision maker?

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 production has to qualify as an independent Nordic production with the main production company being from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Greenland, The Faroe Islands or Åland.
