TIFF PICKS TWO TALLINN PROJECTS
We are happy extremely to share the news that last year's Baltic Event 2018 Works In Progress entry Maria's Paradise, directed by Zaida Bergroth and co-produced by Evelin Penttilä (Stellar, Estonia) will screen in Toronto, having also secured an international distribution company LevelK.
Also screening at TIFF's Contemporary Cinema programme is another 2018 Works In Progress and another Finnish production Dogs Don't Wear Pants (already screened at Quinzaine des Realisateurs and Karlovy Vary).
Reminder: our Works In Progress submission deadline is 15 September, 2019.
TV BEATS FORUM
As one of the newest additions in the Industry@Tallinn &; Baltic Event programme, TV Beats Forum has an objective to facilitate the entry of regional producers and service providers into the international series co-production industry, focusing on collaboration between the Baltic Sea countries - Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Sweden - with the addition of Iceland, Norway and Ukraine.
The TV Beats team is excited to announce the first set of topics and speakers for 2019:
- Chernobyl case study, including Lineta Miseikyte (Lithuania) from UAB Baltic Film Services who will be sharing the Lithuanian perspective on the international co-production of the top-rated drama series that was shot in Lithuania;
- All the Sins case study - Mika Ronkainen (Finland), Ilkka Matila (Finland) and Kris Taska (Estonia) discuss the Finnish-Estonian co-produced crime series made for the Elisa VOD platform.
THE PLOT?
We'd like like to remind you that submissions are open for several of our industry initiatives. And we only used the name of the renowned literary classic as a cheap pun to get your attention. Sorry, Charles!
