The event is co-organised and sponsored by the Czech Film Fund, Polish Film Institute (PISF), Slovak Audiovisual Fund (AVF) and organised by Marketa Hodouskova of Film New Europe Association and Joanna Wendorff- Ostergaard of the Polish Film Institute..

The event will present case studies of four international coproductions from the region and participants including the heads of the regional film funds and film producers will discuss how to increase the number of successful coproductions from the region.  The event will be moderated by FNE news editor and distinguished international film expert Cathy Meils. The event will be followed by a cocktail for participants.

This is the third in a series of new events that started with the Warsaw Summit last year organised by JoannaWendorff- Ostergaard and the Polish MEDIA Desk aimed at increasing audiences and the international visibility of films from the region by sharing successful models for projects that cross borders.  The momentum continued with the Visegrad Meeting organised by the Slovak Creative Europe - MEDIA desk in Bratislava earlier this year.
