06/03/2013 - Canadian co-production market will have international industry players attending

The 16^th annual Strategic Partners co-production/co-financing market focusing on feature film, television and multiplatform fiction, shines the spotlight on India and for the second year in row, the UK at this year’s event September 12-15 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Top Canadian and international industry players are selected to attend, including producers, investors, sales agents, funding agencies, broadcasters and distributors. The event offers some 1000 pre-scheduled 1-2-1 meetings, coproduction focused roundtable sessions, edge panels, keynote speakers, screenings and receptions.

Laura Mackenzie, Director, Strategic Partners, said, “Momentum continues to build in the number of Canadian and international producers looking to collaborate with India and the UK is a natural co-spotlight given their experience in successfully capitalizing on their co-pro treaty with India many times. Strategic Partners held a soft focus on India to introduce a small number of India producers and officials to the event. This has already contributed to a Canadian film shot in India.”

The deadline for the Strategic Partners’ call for producer applications and industry registrations is June 28.
