World Co-Production Fund - Torino Film Lab

Description

The TFL World Co-Production Fund supports co-productions between European producers and international co-producers, thanks to the Creative Europe – MEDIA sub-programme support to International Co-production Funds.

The fund is focused on directors developing their 3rd feature film project onward and it is open to all cinema forms: fiction, documentary, animation.

The applicant must be a producer based in one of the countries participating in the MEDIA Sub-programme interested in establishing connections with international production companies.

The TorinoFilmLab team will assess all the applications and shortlist 3 projects, which will participate in the TorinoFilmLab event in November 2019, where they will be presented to over 200 European and international professionals. The selection committee will then decide on the winner of the TFL World Coproduction Award, which amounts to € 50,000.
