The heart of the event will still be the Co-Production Forum dedicated to documentaries and feature films in development from all over Europe, but the program will feature many other activities. Furthermore, this new edition of WEMW will continue researching and giving insights into the specific realities of the East and West, bringing to Trieste a selection of projects in different phases and a delegation of the main key players from the 2021 countries in focus: Italy and Israel.
Two Key Words: Curation & Inspiration
The WEMW 2021 format will keep the same successful ingredients as in previous years, enriched with some important new elements. Due to the inevitable reduced location capacity, every professional joining this upcoming edition in Trieste will have a special and transversal role during the event.
On the one hand, we will accompany for the first time the selected projects before, during and after the event, organising curated one-to-one meetings with a number of business angels from all over Europe, handpicked for each project in cooperation with EAVE. Selected teams will have the unique opportunity to receive advice on co-production, finance, marketing or distribution, according to the primary needs of their project. On the other hand, we will arrange the usual individual meetings on the spot with attending decision makers and a series of online one-to-one meetings with all other registered professionals. WEMW 2021 will furthermore create a space for open dialogue to reshape the present of our industry and find new inspirations for the future.
