With the main objective of supporting national production and increasing international partnerships, Porto/Post/Doc organises Co-Production Meetings between Portugal, Spain and France, to promote the circulation of artists, the development of new projects and foster opportunities for co-production between the three countries.
Taking into account the existing co-production protocols between these countries and bearing in mind the ways in which European funds are increasingly demanding the co-production and co-development of projects, PPD will host a series of meetings aimed at attracting both independent and more consolidated producers from these neighbouring countries, with the aim of developing further partnerships. Over the course of two days, participants will have access to networking activities, alongside the ability to schedule one-to-one meetings with other producers and invited industry members, looking for co-production and distribution opportunities.
This activity is organised in collaboration with Creative Europe – Media Desk Portugal and Spain (Basque Country).
