3DFM is an international financing market dedicated to projects with stereoscopic-3D (S-3D) content from all over the world. The two-day market will include presentations, discussions, pitching sessions, and organized meetings taking place between the participants, all aimed at facilitating the financing and distribution of stereoscopic-3D film content.
The 15 international filmmakers, selected by a professional jury, will present their projects to a panel composed of invited financiers, potential co-producers, and sales agents. In addition, the market will be organizing meetings between 3D professionals, producers, directors, technicians, service providers, financiers and sales agents to make it possible for people to move forward with their projects and to develop a network of stakeholders specialised in this new genre.
The market will also host conferences on topics including structuring financing and developing co-productions, the marketing and licensing of 3D content, and the revenue potential and access to equity for 3D projects.
The 3DFM jury will include representatives from Belgian subsidy Wallimage, Belgian cluster of audiovisual providers The Pôle Image of Liège, and production and financing company Red Bull Media House (Austria), sales companies SC Films International (UK) and eOne Films International (UK), music financier Just Temptation (Germany), and the production company and Best Pitch award winner from the 2012 edition of the market Cow Prod from France.
3DFM has expanded from European to worldwide focus. For the first time there will be projects from USA, Canada, and even a German-Chinese coproduction participating alongside European projects. American director Alla Kovgan will present her project Cunningham 3D about world-renowned choreographer Merce Cunningham, and Canadian director Dylan Pearce will bring his feature film project 40 Below and Falling.
There will also be two documentaries at 3DFM: Deep in the Forest by Sundance festival winner for best screenplay in 1996 Ciro Cappellari from Germany, and Le Mans: 3D by Emmy-nominated director James Erskine from the UK; as well as one animation film, Vincent Van Dog, is a Dutch-Belgian co-production.
Only two of the selected projects were already presented at other international co-production markets in 2013: the Polish project Heart Core by Grzegorz Korczak (presented at Polish Days 2013 in Wroclaw) and the German-British coproduction North Pole by Simone Orliani and Teresina Moscatiello (presented at Nordic CoProduction Forum 2013 Haugesund, Norway).
Some of the selected filmmakers are returning to 3DFM with new projects, after participating in previous editions of the market. They include French director, stereographer and producer Fabien Remblier, whose film Symphony in 3D was pitched in 2011 and won the award for best usage of 3D technology at the 3D Korean International Film Festival, presenting his new project Ambulance 13; and Spanish director Ferran Audí, also participate at 3DFM for the second time, this time pitching a new feature film project titled Catalan Cream.
Several selected projects are dedicated to fantastic stories, representing the unique usage of 3D technology. These are: Apocalyptic Warrior by Raza Mallal, UK; the German-Chinese coproduction Unbounded, represented by German producer Axel Weimer; The Darkness by British director Simon Foster; and Spacers by Andrew Dymond from UK.
Finally, French director, Gilles Stassart will present an adventurous project about a kitchen-chef Inside a Fried Chicken; and Portuguese director Edgar Pêra, who released an experimental film 3x3D together with Jean-Luc Godard and Peter Greenway, will look for financing for his project Amazed Spectator.
At the end of the market, the jury will select The Best Pitch award winner, who will be announced during the 3D Stereo MEDIA Awards Ceremony on 6 December, at the Royal Opera House of Liège
