FRENCH-BRAZILIAN COPRODUCTION MEETINGS
As part of Cinélatino, 34ème Rencontres de Toulouse, the Film and TV production masters students of University Paul Valéry in Montpellier will be organising a meeting centered around film and TV coproduction with Brazil, set forth from the students’ study of French-Brazilian coproduction. The discussion will be led by producer Serge Lalou who is also co-head of the master’s programme.
As the ANCINE*’s open call for coproduction projects was recently published after a long break, the guests will provide an updated gaze upon the current situation in Brazil, and will share their experiences in the field of French-Brazilian coproduction.
How does one coproduce a film with Brazil? What crucial information must one know? What pros and cons might one encounter in coproducing with Brazil, and what perspectives might one look forward to? All these matters will be tackled during the meeting, with time allotted to answer the participants’s questions. The meeting will take place both face-to-face and online.
