TIES THAT BIND is the
leading training programme for European-Asian co-production. The participants will work with
top-notch industry professionals from both continents. The sessions will focus on script development, co-production between Asia and Europe, public and private financing in the two regions, marketing and distribution, and the legal aspects of co-production. They will meet leading Asian and European sales agents, funders and potential co-producers during the
FOCUS ASIA in Udine and the
Southeast Asian Film Financing (SAFF) Forum in Singapore.
TTB is targeted at
European & Asian producers. We will select
5 European and 5 Asian producers. In addition to
feature fiction films, we are open as well to
TV series or animation fiction films in development. We encourage that you bring your directors to the workshop.
We also welcome applications of
European professionals interested in working with Asia such as
sales agents, financiers, distributors, festival programmers, co-production market representatives, or
European producers who wish to focus on their career development. We will select
5 career participants to be an active part of the group. In order to benefit from all aspects of the programme, they will be able to partner with project participants and attend the meetings with the experts and decision makers together.
The 15 selected participants will attend 2 workshops:
Workshop 1 will take place from
April 27 – May 1, 2020 within the framework of the
Udine Far East Film Festival (April 24 – May 2, 2020) in Italy. Workshop 2 will be organised at the

Southeast Asian Film Financing (SAFF) Forum in partnership with the
