The half-day program will examine international issues such as what it takes to make films today. This year you can expect conversations regarding Film, Television, Finance, Sales and Distribution, giving attendees a well-round perspective on the ever-evolving landscape of the Entertainment Industry and consumer trends.
Subjects of previous finance forums have included:
- Global State of the Industry: How to Get Films Financed and Made Today
- Smart Money Strategies: Applying Risk Mitigation Across Borders
- Globalization of Entertainment: A Conversation with Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX
- Co-Production: Navigating Cross-Border Single Picture Projects
- International Distribution Strategies in a Changing Landscape
The talks are followed by the inevitable networking session, which is an essential part of talks of this nature – and the true reason people come to Cannes.
The speakers include senior executives from Fintage House, Participant Media, Imax, the European producers Club and The Weinstein Company. So it is likely to attract a very focused audience.
Film Finance Forum is organised by Winston Baker in association with Variety magazine. For details visit Film Finance Forum, Cannes 2023.
