Entering into a co-production is an important decision that opens doors to new partnerships and funding opportunities. It also raises many questions with regards to shared responsibilities, contractual obligations, budget splits and creative control, and forces partners to deal with and grapple with different socio-economic realities, and available funding. While international producing decisions take place, directors grapple with keeping their artistic point of view.

Producer Palmyre Badinier will share her views and experiences in an introduction to international co-production. 

Followed by a conversation on the journey into the making of Militantropos (Yelizaveta Smith, Alina Gorlova, Simon Mozgovyi, Ukraine, Austria, France) with producer Eugene Rachkovsky, and Matabeleland with director Nyasha Kadandara. 

Moderated by Selin Murat.
