Launched in 2022, the New Producers Room presents and supports 10 up-and-coming short film producers who already produced at least two short films.
About
The New Producers Room aims to make these producers more acquainted with co-production opportunities thanks to dedicated online sessions and presentations in Cannes.
Beyond financial collaborations, it is the opportunity to build strong & enriching bonds, learn co-production skills for the future, and therefore enhance the distribution & the exhibition of forthcoming short films.
Elaborated as part of the SFC | Rendez-vous Industry, this initiative sets a privileged moment for these young producers to meet potential partners and discover promising short film projects presented within the Creative Programs (Focus SCRIPT – shorts in development & Focus WiP – shorts in progress).
