The European Producers Club has set up (2 - 15 December), in Berlin and London, two co-production forums open to professionals from the old continent. On the programme for the two events, conferences will take place in the morning on topical news concerning finance, respectively The new public fund in Germany: will it help / will it be real? and The new regulation of the Sales and Leaseback. The two afternoons will be dedicated to individual meetings allowing producers to discuss their selected projects with their European counterparts, and also with investors, international sales companies, distributors and representatives from TV networks.

Interested producers, whether or not they are members of the European Producers Club have until the 21st November to inscribe. The Forums are open to companies who have produced two features, have a co-production in progress or who are seeking co-production partners. The candidates will be selected by a committee, including notably French Michel Reilhac (Arte France Cinéma) and Yves Marmion (UGC), British David Thompson (BBC Films) and Nik Powell (NFTS), German Raimond Goebel (Pandora Filmproduktion), Ira von Gienanth (Prokino Filmverleih), Mylada Rybarova (Senator Film Produktion) and Spanish Antonio Saura (Zebra Producciones). The selected projects will take advantage of 5 individual meetings set up by the Club, with a participation cost of 100 euros.
