As part of the new Émergence project, which supports the international development of emerging French producers, Unifrance has renewed its partnership with the Locarno Film Festival to allow three member companies to participate in the Match Me! program.
The call for applications is open until May 26!
The event will take place from August 4 through 6, 2023 during the 76th edition of the prestigious Locarno Film Festival. Match Me! is one of the initiatives organized by Locarno Pro and is a networking platform for emerging producers who are currently developing a first or second feature film and are looking to expand their international network.
During three days, the program will offer three French producers the unique opportunity to present their company and their projects, to search for potential co-productions and financing, to meet buyers and distributors through a personalized matchmaking service, and to participate in professional lunches organized by the Locarno Pro team.
Unifrance invites interested French producers to apply before May 26, 2023!
Applications should be sent to Unifrance: tiziana.degidio@unifrance.org
The selection of participants will be made by the Locarno Pro team.
Conditions:
- To have already produced short films
- Be currently developing a first or second feature film project
- Be a member of Unifrance (short film, feature film or audiovisual school)
Participation in the program is covered by the partnership between Unifrance and the Locarno Festival (accreditation, accommodation, transfer, etc.).
Please note: The application must be submitted in English, including the video.
