February 13-14, 2005, during the Berlin International Film Festival - The Berlinale Co-Production Market is a 2-day-initiative for producers, financiers, broadcasting representatives, distributors and sales agents who are interested in international co-productions.
The first edition in 2004 had an enormous response. More than 270 industry professionals from all over the world attended and met in more than 600 pre-arranged individual meetings.
At the Berlinale Co-Production Market, producers are given a platform to introduce their projects as well as the opportunity to catch up on current film financing strategies, to participate in panel discussions and case studies, to find co-production partners and/or financiers and to refresh existing contacts and relationships.
By holding the Berlinale Co-Production Market during the Berlin International Film Festival - one of the most important A-film festivals worldwide – the opportunities for establishing contacts are excellent, as industry professionals from all over the world attend the festival.
Producers from throughout the world who are experienced in co-production and have completed at least one international co-production are invited to submit a project.
