A total of 26 projects in development – nine international and 17 from Russia, spanning various formats – are participating in WEMW Goes to Russia, the new co-production forum organised by When East Meets West and ROSKINO, which will take place during the upcoming Key Buyers Event: Digital, which runs from 8-10 June with three additional days of screenings and matchmaking.

For its third year, the Key Buyers Event: Digital has expanded its co-production programme and, in collaboration with WEMW, aims to make it easier for international and Russian filmmakers to meet the right partners. During the event, the teams will have a chance to meet leading Russian producers and have the opportunity to access minority co-production support granted by the Russian Ministry of Culture, which amounts to RUB 10 million (€110,000).

Alessandro Gropplero, head of WEMW, offered his insight: “We received an amazing number of international applications, almost 60 from 25 different countries. I am sure none of us could have expected this huge response at the beginning of the call. We finally selected nine very diverse projects from eight different countries. All of the projects have a different genre, a different profile in terms of their directors, and a very solid package and significant funding in place, which increases their chances of being produced. Having the chance to have a Russian point of view in the selection was a key element, as we wanted to be sure to include projects with high chances of piquing the interest of possible Russian co-producers.”

Evgenia Markova, CEO of ROSKINO, mentioned: “The number and quality of the entries for our inaugural year of WEMW Goes to Russia have exceeded our expectations. Apart from the well-known titles such as Persian Lessons [+lee también:
