The crossroads of cross-border cooperation between Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg, the Alentours Forum – Rhenish Co-Production Meetings are set to kick off in Strasbourg tomorrow for a duration of three days, with 31 selected projects (20 works of fiction and 11 documentaries) set to be pitched during this 2023 edition (running 27-29 June).
New to this year’s event is the CinEuro Prize, which will be awarded to two co-production projects from a list of eight contenders (three documentaries and five fiction films), which notably includes Les danseurs de Strasbourg by French director Zoé Labasse. Singled out as the Jury Film Crush at the 2023 Screenplay Awards, having also won 2022’s Emergence contest as well as the Grand Nord residency, the project is based on a screenplay penned by the director herself alongside Marie-Stéphane Imbert, which takes us back to July 1518. Hilde is trying to find a way to work as a female surgeon. When Strasbourg is gripped by a strange dance epidemic, the young woman finds in this chaos an unhoped-for opportunity to finally practice dissection… The project is in the final stages of development and in the early phase of funding.
Besides pitching sessions and One to One meetings, the Alentours Forum agenda also boasts a variety of round tables and workshops, including "co-producing today: An opportunity or a challenge?", "films to change the world: a focus on impact cinema", and "encouraging international co-productions through the Belgium-style tax shelter initiative".
Organised by the Eurometropolis of Strasbourg, the Grand Est region and Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg as part of the Interreg CinEuro project, in collaboration with the Creative Europe desks of neighbouring countries (Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Swiss Media desk), Arte Geie and the Ludwigsburg-Paris Workshop, the Alentours Forum has also recently offered up co-productions along the lines of Gutland [+lee también:
