OVERVIEW:
Winston Baker will host its annual international program during the 68th Festival de Cannes at the prestigious Carlton Hotel located on the Boulevard de la Croisette. This particular forum will be a half-day program on the afternoon of May 15, 2015 geared towards global strategies for financing films, mitigating risk, aligning interests with partners worldwide, and identifying viable distribution in the age of “watch it when you want and where you want it.”
Key topics of discussion at the forum will include:
- View From the Director’s Chair: Banking on Content vs. Talent
- Is it Real Movie Money or Just Another Big Yacht Passing By?
- Staying Ahead of the Growing Co-Production Curve
- Breaking into the China Market: Power Players and Strategic Partnership Opportunities
- Distribution Re-Defined: Selling Films and Making Money in the On-Demand Age
At the end of the forum, a private reception will be hosted for speakers, sponsors, and registered attendees.
ATTENDEE PROFILE:
Each year, the Cannes forum hosts a targeted group of between 150 and 200 film financiers, producers, sales agents, buyers, and seasoned advisors. The Winston Baker forum is an effective way to stay connected with award winning producers and active industry deal-makers, as well as make new contacts at a film festival that hosts thousands of people each year.
In 2014, attendance at the Marché du Film reached a record 11,806 registered participants, including 1,927 buyers for 5,036 companies. 116 countries were represented that year, with 8 new countries making an appearance. In such a huge market, there is no better way to establish visibility with the right contacts than by attending a high-level film finance and distribution conference?
Winston Baker’s 2015 Cannes forum will be featuring outstanding speakers such as David Glasser, President and Chief Operating Officer of The Weinstein Company, Jim Berk, Chief Executive Officer of Participant Media, Micah Green, Co-Head, Film Finance and Sales Group, Creative Artists Agency and industry leaders from IM Global, Universal Pictures International, IFC Films, and so many others!
