The new generation of WEMW: Slate Market, Strategic Planning & more Business Angels
WEMW 2022 will continue to select single projects in different phases of development and production, but it will broaden the perspective with the launch of the first edition of the WEMW Slate Market. This brand-new programme, run in close partnership with EAVE, will select companies that are developing a slate of A/V works and will offer them consultancies on company management and strategic planning, together with business-to-business exchanges with key players from different industry sectors.
Following the successful results of the last edition, WEMW will organize once again tailor-made curated meetings with a series of WEMW Business Angels, handpicked in cooperation with EAVE and Eurodoc. All Co-Production Forum and Slate Market selected teams will receive advice on co-production, financing, marketing or distribution, according to the primary needs of their projects and slates.
How to physically and virtually attend WEMW?
Film professionals from all over the world will have the opportunity to request an on-site accreditation by applying to one of the WEMW Inspirational Labs. These activities, run in collaboration with leading training programmes and international partners, are meant to stimulate participants to develop new content, explore new business models and discover new markets. The call for these mini-labs will open at the end of October and the final selection will be based on the applicants’ company profile and motivation letter.
WEMW 2022 will grant physical access to the market venue only to the participants selected to one of these labs. All other film professionals will be offered the possibility to enjoy the rich programme of WEMW by requesting an online accreditation to access the new WEMW Digital Universe.
