Paris Cinema features Project and other workshops
As part of the sixth edition of the Paris Cinéma festival (see news) – which is taking place in French capital from July 1-12 – the MK2 Bibliothèque theatre is hosting the three-day Paris Project Forum. The 13 projects selected this year are in search of financial partners in France.
European works include Nadia Fares’ Corps Diplomatique (“Diplomatic Body”, initiated by Swiss company Dschoint Ventschr Filmproduktion); Kamal Aljafari’s Passerby (presented by German-based MediaConsult); and two Belgian projects: Bart Van den Bempt’s 82 Days in April (Serendipity Films ) and Daniel Hiquet’s Eau de Linda (Newart Productions).
At this year’s edition, Paris Project will for the first time screen two films in post-production that are looking for an international sales agent and distributor, such as Esther Rots’ Dutch feature Can Go Through Skin (NFI Productions & Rots Filmswerk).
There will also be workshops bringing together European and Asian producers and focusing on projects in development. The company Made in Germany will present Andreas Kohler’s Silent Deeds and Belgian-based Artemis Productions and Japan’s Gauguins International will unveil Stefan Liberski’s Lonely Woman.
Finally, Dutch company In-Soo Productions, in partnership with Fu Works Productions and CCCP Rotterdam, are backing the thriller Gladio, about an underground anti-communist organisation created in Europe in the 1950s.
