The second edition of the Venice Production Bridge focuses on the presentation and exchange of original projects
The Venice Production Bridge comprises the Venice Gap Financing Market, the workshop Final Cut in Venice, the Book Adaptation Rights Market, the European Film Forum, Networking Sessions and Panels, as well as an Exhibition Area, and much more. The Venice Production Bridge will be held during the 74th Venice International Film Festival, from August 31st to September 5th on the third floor of the Excelsior Hotel of the Lido di Venezia. The second edition of the Venice Production Bridge focuses in particular on the presentation and exchange of original projects for films and works in progress, so as to foster their development and production.
The Venice Production Bridge also focuses on one of the major new trends in contemporary production, which is the co-existence of a diversity of platforms fostered by the digital revolution: television series, web-series and, above all, the new frontier represented by VR/Virtual Reality, which are currently attracting major investment and the most advanced technological research. The Venice Production Bridge intends to attract industry professionals active in these fields.
Venice Gap-Financing Market last chance for meetings one on one
The Venice Production Bridge is just a week away, with 47 projects selected for the Venice Gap-Financing Market. The meetings will take place on September 1, 2 and 3 from 9:30 until 18:00 in the Venice Production Bridge areas at the Excelsior Hotel on the Lido di Venezia, within a short distance from Palazzo del Cinema, the main festival hub.
