On 13-14 March 2013 meetings between 17 companies from 5 countries were scheduled in total. We matched companies with each other and Kamal Musale and Juliane Schulze scheduled consultations with all of them. Investors and representatives of banks met with us to understand how we can work together, showing deep interest in international content which is co-financed by Indian and European sources.

We had the opportunity to discuss the format and objectives of the Lounge with Kamal Haasan. He confirmed that holding the European Co-Production Lounge also in Chennai would complement the more Bollywood focused event in Mumbai and would help the independent Indian film industry in accessing potential co-producers and distribution from abroad.

Cannes Film Festival 2012

eurindiamedia is in Cannes Film Festival this year. You may contact Juliane Schulze (contact@eurindiamedia.org) for an appointment.

The Indian director Anurag Kashyap is a happy man with his three films being screened at the ongoing Cannes film festival in different sections but the director says his two-part revenge saga Gangs of Wasseypur almost did not get made as no one believed in the script initially. It is noted that Anurag is financing his films partly with an European business model.

It’s a overall an interesting festival this year, not only because of the presence of more Indian films in different corners of the festival, but also with the forthcoming european projects set to be shot in India this winter. Indian coproducers are in demand !

For any query, please contact Kamal Musale (contact@eurindiamedia.org) for more information.
