‹Creative Experiences in Producers' Pools›

This year's meeting is looking at the benefits to producers of a collective approach to handling the challenges of our digital times, the emergence of another generation of producers, new forms of storytelling, changes in audiences' taste and behaviour, new trends and technologies.

Swiss producers and international experts will present their experience over the last four years within a unique training programme of self-organized pools addressing such shared topics as financing and co-producing projects in the arthouse sector, communication and networking, the choice of appropriate forms to best convey winning stories between the big screen and transmedia, new promotion and marketing tools, etc.

Thus, a wide range of themes to be shared and discussed, in a moderated presentation and debate for the first half of the meeting, and a second part featuring a cocktail reception for the informal continuation of the discussions.

Christian Davi (Hugofilm, Zurich),
