Networking and round table
This networking activity is linked to the German part of the ELBE DOCK IFF. The main aim of this activity is to connect emerging producers from the V4 region and other V4 filmmakers with their German colleagues. One of the weaknesses in the development of V4 short film production is the disconnection from the key western neighbour. There is a large number of thematically, creatively and proximity successful projects that have no co-production or creative links to the V4 countries, which in contrast is the case for countries typically from Western Europe. This inspiring meeting within the industry programme will take place on Friday in Dresden. In an informal setting, V4 filmmakers together with German filmmakers and other festival’s guests will discuss their projects and individual needs for co-productions or other connections to each other. The second part of the activity will also meet with representatives of film festivals and producers with the experiences of co-productions. This meeting will define examples of good practice in each country to support short film production. And thanks to the German-Visegrad context, the possibilities for cooperation between the main drivers of entire national cinemas will also be further expanded.
