The only co-production market for 3D content in Europe, called the 3D Film Mart (3DFM), is inviting coproducers to apply for participation. Twenty producers with stereoscopic-3D projects have already been selected to pitch at this yearfs market, and we are now seeking potential co]producing partners to have matched, one]to]one meetings, called B2B meetings, with the producers of the selected projects and their teams.
When & where
The 2nd edition of the 3D Film Mart will take place in Liege, Belgium, on 4 and 5 December 2012. This yearfs 20 selected projects comprise feature films, TV contents, documentaries, animation projects, and even concert films, all in stereoscopic-3D (S-3D) format.
Context
The 3D Film Mart (3DFM) was developed by 3D Stereo MEDIA in association with TWIST and peacefulfish. 3DFM is partially funded by the MEDIA Programme of the European Commission (EC), and is
thus an official project of the EC. This gives it wide visibility and a significant notoriety in Europe and beyond. The 3D Film Mart is organized during the European 3D-Stereo Summit for Science, Technology, and Digital Art, called 3D Stereo MEDIA. This offers a broad scope of events taking place on 3-6 December such as a 3D Film Festival, a Scientific Conference, a Professional Conference, and a 3D Academy, all dedicated to S-3D.
Program
The program of 3D Film Mart consists of 20 pitches spread over 4 and 5 December 2012 in front of a select jury consisting of international distributors, financiers and sales agents. Among the public there will also be producers looking for co]production possibilities. There will be three panels dedicated to the topics of: 3D on TV, arthouse in 3D, financing and commercialization of 3D content. Networking events will bring all participants together, as well as with members of the TWIST cluster. the Walloon cluster network for players in the digital, audiovisual, and multimedia technologies domain. The best of the 20 pitched projects and its producer will be eligible to receive an award in the amount of 3,000.00.. Producers, co]producers, and financiers will interact during pitching sessions and one]to]one meetings.
