Forty seven projects have been selected for
CineMart 2005, the largest co-production market worldwide, to be held January 30 - February 3 during the 34th edition of the
International Film Festival Rotterdam.
CineMart invites a select group of co-producers, television buyers, sales agents, distributors and fund representatives to meet up with a projects' representatives. Year-round, CineMart continues to actively support the selected film projects through alliances and partnerships with other international film festivals, training organizations and funding bodies.
"The record number of 539 entries provided us with a good overview of the current, very lively market situation for small and medium budget films," said CineMart director Ido Abram. "The overall high quality of this 47-strong CineMart 2005 selection and the expected presence of some 800 buyers and financiers makes Rotterdam the ideal industry platform at the beginning of the new year. As is our objective, this 2005 Selection not only introduces new talent but also welcomes back directors and producers familiar with 'the Rotterdam experience'. The CineMart, the
Hubert Bals Fund, the VPRO Tiger Awards Competition and the other programme sections tie up wonderfully. CineMart 2005 has a strong line-up with strong projects about strong people in strong stories."
