International Coproduction : Show Me The Deal

description

International co-production has long been a practical solution for documentary producers seeking to piece together financing across different territories—but it has rarely been an end in itself. In today’s rapidly shifting market, marked by consolidation, shrinking funding streams, and widespread uncertainty, the future of international co-production is far from clear. At a moment when the industry is in turmoil, producers are being forced to rethink how, when and why international collaboration truly makes sense. This producer-to-producer session dives into new ways of collaborating across borders. By examining projects that have experimented with fresh solutions, the session aims to spark practical insights and honest reflection. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of the conditions, partnerships, and creative strategies that can make international co-productions viable—and successful—in today’s changing landscape.
