The upcoming edition of the MEDIA-supported training program – WHEN EAST MEETS WEST will be held with a special focus on Russia, thanks to the partnership with Roskino.
WEMW will offer a broad perspective not only on Russian projects and talents, but also on recent funding measures in Russia aimed at supporting international co-productions.
WEMW Goes to Russia will be dedicated to the large network of international film professionals of WEMW and will include a pitching session, including 5 international projects in an advanced stage of development, seeking additional funding. The selected teams will have the unique opportunity to meet leading Russian producers, find partners and receive support for a minority co-production, up to 10 million rubles (about 110,000 euros), provided by the Russian Ministry of Culture.
WEMW and Roskino will present the program in the leading film market in Russia – Key Buyers Event (KBE) from 8 to 10 June 2021.
