The project should be suitable for an international co-production, it should have at least 30% of the financing in place and the budget shall range between 1-10 million €. For detailed criteria, please see project requirements in the attached flyer. Furthermore, you will find the Submission Form attached, which is also available for download at www.efm-berlinale.de

We will start with our project selection soon, and will notify you at the latest by December 23, 2009, whether your project is selected.

The seventh Berlinale Co-Production Market will be held from Sunday to Tuesday, February 14-16, 2010, as part of the 60th Berlin International Film Festival.

It is a 2 ½-day service and networking platform designed for producers, financiers, sales agents, distributors, broadcasting and funding representatives who are actively participating in international co-productions.

At the Berlinale Co-Production Market, you have the opportunity to present your project –if it is selected- to interested co-production partners and financiers in pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings. In addition, you can visit the framework programme, which offers opportunities to catch up on film financing and marketing news in Case Studies and Workshops, get first-hand information on co-production opportunities at the Country Tables, exchange experiences in Theme Talks and establish new and refresh existing contacts during informal Speed Matchings, cocktail receptions or while visiting the Producers’ Lounge.

In 2009, a total of 36 projects from 25 countries were presented at the Berlinale Co-Production Market. 500 industry professionals from all over the world attended the event and met in more than 1000 pre-arranged individual meetings.
