Morning Sessions for Producers Aiming for International Co-Productions to Learn Directly from Representatives of Cannes, Venice Markets and Beyond

TGFM will host the “TGFM Morning Sessions,” a series of lectures targeting filmmakers pursuing international co-productions.
The sessions will feature three guests each who are at the forefront of the industry, including representatives from the affiliated markets of Cannes and Venice. They will provide a valuable opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge about ‘Project Markets’ and ‘Funds & Grants,’ which are essential for implementing international co-productions.

These sessions will be held over two consecutive mornings on the 2nd and 3rd days of TIFFCOM, primarily for TGFM participants and Japanese producers.
