FFF BAYERN @ TIFF 2017

Together with a delegation of Bavarian filmmakers, FilmFernsehFonds Bayern traveled to the Toronto International Film Festival this year. The goal of the trip was the exchange of ideas and experiences between the Canadian and Bavarian film industries in order to intensify future international co-productions. The program for the group included visits to different companies, a networking breakfast, the reception of the International Financing Forum and a reception at the local Goethe-Institut, as well as the presentation of Bavarian funding possibilities at the Ontario Trade and Investment Center (OMDC), pitching sessions, and a visit to the post-production studio Deluxe. All this gave the participants the opportunity to make new international contacts, gain new insights, and convey the diversity and efficiency of Bavaria as a film location.
