Travel assistance to 2009 Rotterdam Lab
Screen Australia, in partnership with the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR), offers a special travel assistance scheme for three producers to attend the 2009 Rotterdam Lab, organised as part of CineMart at the IFFR (25-29 January 2009).
The Rotterdam Lab is for a select group of up to 50 emerging producers from various countries. IFFR organises group sessions each morning with key members of the industry, giving participants the chance to learn about international feature film sales, financing, distribution, and attending international film markets and pitching forums/competitions. Afternoons are open for participants to experience the Rotterdam Film Festival and CineMart/marketplace environment, with organised networking and social functions held each evening.
Emerging Australian producers wishing to apply for travel assistance must have a feature film project in development thematically suited to the festival and potentially ready for submission to CineMart 2010 and must have producer credits on either a short, feature film or documentary that has performed well at key international film festivals.
Screen Australia is offering $3000 airfare assistance to three producers to attend the 2009 Lab. Accommodation in Rotterdam will also be provided.
More information about films that have screened at the IFFR, as well as tips for attending can be found on the Screen Australia website, and also on the festival's website:
