Call for entries: Sithengi Feature Film Co-Production forum (FFCF)

Sithengi Film and Television Market calls producers to submit their Feature Film Projects into this year's Feature Film Co-Production Market.

DEADLINE: TUESDAY 30 SEPTEMBER 2003

To register, please complete the application form under "Project Market" on www.sithengi.co.za and email required attachments to .

This year, the Sithengi Feature Film Co-Production Forum will follow a similar process to the Rotterdam Co-Production model. After an initial selection process, the chosen applications will be forwarded to invited international co-producers, financiers and distributors. These international industry leaders will then select the projects and producers they would like to meet with and the Sithengi team will set up one-on-one meetings with the interested co-producers and financiers.

The objective of this is to ensure that you will be 'matched' with the correct people – those who are genuinely interested in your project with the capacity to come on board with either financing or as a co-producer.

This year Sithengi has raised the bar for qualification to enter the Feature Film Co-Production Market. Our intention is to present projects that have the necessary criteria for international co-production.

We will be announcing the prizes to be awarded for the best 'pitch' shortly. Watch this space for further details!

The criteria for entry are:

  • At least 20% of your proposed budget has to be secured and/or
  • A pre-sale or distribution deal needs to be in place.
  • The Feature Film Co-Production Forum is only open to producers or projects with producers attached.
