(Albania, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Eurimages, France, Greece, Italy, Israel, Poland, Portugal) Will gather together To discuss current topics of interest trends and perspectives of the rapidly changing film industry. Moreover, create more transnational collaborations, building a creative exchange and support cooperation between countries.

During the panel, we will learn how to navigate the international co-production landscape and build long creative and mutually-beneficial relationships between our film industries. From creating content that is capable of crossing borders to learning how to tap into new opportunities and platforms in the market.

This panel will demonstrate how to make the content reach farther; how to find the right partners with which to develop or co-produce a project; how to collaborate effectively between different cultures and continents without losing the vision of the film; and how to cover new trends in the field of international co-production.

We will also learn from the participants about the challenges facing producers as they attempt to set up their projects as co-productions, offering insight into the current situation where the proliferation of TV networks has taken control of the big screen and kept viewers away from the theaters.

The panel will be moderated by Ms. Karine Riahi, advocate, founder partner at Spring Legal, specializing in legal techniques of the international film industry
