The Forum was a perfect opportunity to make contacts, find co-producers as well as a future distributor or a sales agent for a film.
5 films from each country in different stages of production were selected as specially promoted projects pitched during the event.
80 participants from both countries attended the event. They include producers such as Opus Film, Storm Studios, Maipo, Prasa i Film, sales agents, i.e. Trust Nordisk, distributors, i.e. Gutek Film, Best Film, Vivarto and buyers from Polsat, TVP and Canal+ Poland.
The event included pitching to a group and one-to-one meeting sessions. Case studies of Essential Killing (J.Skolimowski) and King of Devil's Island (M.Holst) - two recent successful Polish-Norwegian co-productions - also took place during the Forum.
