FNE at Finale Plzen: Czechs Present a Reduced Pitching Forum at Plzen

By

    PLZEN: Five Czech projects and three foreign projects were presented in a revamped version of the annual pitching forum at the Finale Plzen festival running through 21 April 2016.

    The event was redesigned as a small closed session with a selected group of foreign industry professionals under the title Czech Film Springboard. The pitching forum, which took place on 18 April, is a joint effort of the Czech Film Center and the Finale Plzen film festival. The purpose of the closed door session was to attract more foreign interest in new Czech production.

    The projects included one coproduced by the new programme director of the Finale Plzen festival, Peter Badac through his Slovak production company BFILM, a young company which has produced four shorts and an omnibus feature film. Three productions came from outside the Czech Republic, one each from Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia.
