Thirty-three Films Set for 27th CineMart in Rotterdam

Thirty-three projects have been selected for the 27th CineMart, taking place January 31 - February 3 in Rotterdam. The 2010 CineMart selection includes projects from several filmmakers who are competing at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (taking place January 27 - February 7), or have competed in earlier festival editions. Every year, the CineMart invites a select number of directors/producers to present their film projects to co-producers, funds, sales agents, distributors, TV stations and other potential financiers. Among those presenting their projects to some 800 possible co-financiers are Tiger Award competitors Paz Fabrega and Anocha Suwichakornpong as well as many Tiger Award winners and nominees such as cross media artist Simon Pummell. The selection includes projects from Russian directors Alexey Balabanov and Andrei Zvyagintsev.

“We are very proud to present this exciting line up of strong projects from different parts of the world by yet to be discovered talents and returning Rotterdam friends. Our aim is to select projects close to the heart of Rotterdam as well as with good market potential. We believe it is a focused yet eclectic selection that will cater to the different needs of the professionals attending Rotterdam.
Furthermore we are excited to continue our ‘road to the future’ with a new cross media project. With the recent launch of the festival’s new initiative Cinema Reloaded, this upcoming CineMart will again be used to discuss the changes in the film industry.”
