Euro Connection is the European Short Film Co-production Forum taking place each year at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Market. This business platform aims at fostering partnerships between European production companies, funders and broadcasters for short film projects. Its 6th edition is organised by Sauve Qui Peut le Court Métrage (Clermont-Ferrand) in association with the MEDIA Desk France and the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée, with the support of the MEDIA programme and the PROCIREP.
Euro Connection will take place on Tuesday 4th February 2014 (pitching sessions) and Wednesday 5th February 2014 (one-on-one business meetings) during the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Market. May apply production companies officially located in one of the 15 countries associated to the 2014 edition: Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, United Kingdom.
In each country the national correspondent will collect applications and set up an expert committee to review the applications and select 1 project. The expert committees will especially pay attention to the artistic value of the projects and the quality of the scripts. Each national correspondent will inform the applicants of the results of the selection and the Euro Connection team will then contact the producers of the selected projects to organize their stay and request any material needed.
The deadline for applying with a project is October 31st, 2013.
