Visitors Programme - Berlinale Co-Pro Market 2027

IDM Film & Music Commission Südtirol is pleased to present its cooperation with the Berlinale Co-Production Market 2027 and is offering one South Tyrolean producer the chance to take part in the Visitors Programme from 12 to 15 February 2027.

 

WHAT IS THE VISITORS PROGRAMME?

The Berlinale Co-Production Market is a networking platform for producers working on international co-productions.
The Visitors Programme of the Berlinale Co-Production Market is aimed at producers who have no co-production experience yet but want to get to know the international market and expand their network globally. The programme supports the "customers of tomorrow" through training for the international market, exclusive insights into the international co-production landscape and unique networking opportunities.

 

WHO IS THE VISITORS PROGRAMME FOR?

It is for producers who want to expand their international network and have not yet completed an international co-production. If you have already completed an international co-production, you can register as a "full-scale participant".

 

THE VISITORS PROGRAMME IN DETAIL

The Visitors Programme events are designed specifically for more than 100 visitors from partner institutions in around 20 countries.

  • Visitors Meet & Match: meet the other visitors, present your company and projects, and start networking right away (online, 5 February);
  • Talks: industry representatives introduce key topics of the international market and explain the importance of the co-production market;
  • Visitors Consultation Corner: consultations with invited experts on selected topics.

 

Visitors will also have access to the following areas of the Market:

  • Case Studies on international co-productions;
  • Country Sessions: film funding bodies give an overview of their funding systems and of co-production opportunities in their respective countries;
  • Theme Talks: discussions among participants to share experiences;
  • Speed Matchings: meetings with other Co-Production Market participants;
  • Books at Berlinale: a pitching event featuring current international novels.

 

Please note: as a visitor, you cannot book meetings with projects or present your own project publicly. You will also not be listed in the official participants' directory. Instead, you will appear in a dedicated Visitors booklet.

 

WHEN AND WHERE?

The Visitors Programme of the Berlinale Co-Production Market 2027 will take place in Berlin from 12 to 15 February 2027.
An online kick-off with all visitors will be held on 5 February 2027.
