International Co-Production Forum Regiofund
CONCEPT
The idea of creating the International Co-Production Forum Regiofund comes from the belief that a film along with every stage of its production may constitute a perfect tool both in the fields of advertisement and investment.
The Regiofund Forum was inspired by the need for developing and improving professional events organized during eight editions of the International Festival of Film Producers Regiofun. By resigning from the festival part we would like to focus our attention on providing an opportunity for developing film projects with a co-production potential and creating a cooperation platform for film and business industries.
The event associates film producers, representatives of European film funds, financing institutions, private investors as well as television broadcasters, sales agents and distributors.
PROGRAMME
A programme frame of the Regiofund Forum includes professional events connected with the film co-production. The programme consists of:
- Presentations of the European film projects, which are on the advanced development stage, organized in the form of a pitching or one-to-one meeting
- The seventh edition of the “Young Producer” workshops directed to students, film school graduates and all the people who would like to be engaged in a film production
- Workshops, meetings and discussions
- REGIO CANNES review, during which it will be possible to watch the films presented within the famous festival in the French Riviera
- FAM TOUR, organized for producers and managers of film locations, which aims at promoting selected film locations of the Silesian voivodeship and getting the guests interested in them in terms of the realisation of film shots in those places
