Thirteen screenwriters from all over Europe, including the UK, Poland, Hungary, Macedonia and Italy have been selected to present their screenplays to a panel of international producers during the Pecs International Film Festival on October 3. The 15-strong producers' panel has been assembled from some key players of the European film industry.

Besides the producers, other prominent industry personalities to attend are Gabriele Brunnenmeyer, director of co-production forum Connecting Cottbus, Senad Alihodzic from the Cinelink co-production market of the Sarajevo IFF, and Screen International reporter Martin Blaney.

Apart from the international guests, many key figures of the Hungarian film industry have confirmed their participation. The first all-European screenplay market provides 13 writers with the opportunity to present their screen stories in front of a panel of internationally acclaimed producers during the Moveast International Film Festival in the city of Pécs between 30 September and 4 October 2007 in the hope of giving their projects a much needed professional boost. The Central European Pitch Forum is unique among the many pitching events all across the continent in that it is a story market, meaning that writers can apply without having producers attached to their projects.

Please, help us to spread word about this unique event. You can find more informations on the selected projects in the attached document.
