Film Prize Project Market
The project market, which has been held in collaboration with the Royal Film Commission – Jordan in Amman since 2012, is organized to help filmmakers from the Arab World and Germany find their right team partner for a joint application to the Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
After a day full of one-to-one meetings at the Project Market.
A matchmaking platform
The 2021 and final edition of the Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung kicked off its activities with the Film Prize Project Market.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this matchmaking platform, which has always been at the core of the program, took place as an online workshop from July 15 to 17, 2020.
This year, around a 100 projects from the four corners of the Arab World have been submitted and 30 German producers have postulated to take part in the program.
For this final edition, 6 feature documentary, 4 short fiction and 2 animation film projects from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Sudan, Syria and Tunisia were selected. The diversity of topics ranged from representation of minorities to political upheavals, women rights and generational challenges.
The twelve filmmakers behind these projects had the chance to meet with twelve selected German producers, brought together from all over Germany, with a strong female participation on both sides.
In intense one-to-one sessions, these meetings could result in a good match and each team formed of an Arab filmmaker and a German producer would be able to apply with their project to the 2021 and final edition of the Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
