The BFI in collaboration with New Nordic Films is inviting applications from UK film makers to enter their projects and participate in a delegation to Haugesund, Norway in August 2023.
We are looking for UK producer/director teams with projects relevant to the Nordic market.
New Nordic Films is an international co-production and finance market taking place within the framework of the well-established Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund, Norway. New Nordic Films attracts international industry from all over Europe and beyond, with over 30 countries participating.
The 2023 edition will be held between 22-25 August 2023, with a special focus on the UK and Canada. 3-5 British projects from producer/director teams will be selected to present their projects at the Nordic Co-Production Market, seeking co-producers and financing in the Nordic countries.
Selected delegates will be invited to participate in structured networking sessions, presentations, panels and meetings.
