TIFFCOM Co-Production Events

Both 'ACE Co-Production Lab' and 'KO-PRODUCTION in TOKYO 2014' will be held as networking events for producers wishing to produce films by international collaboration between Japan and other countries.
‘ACE Co-Production Lab' is a program for the promotion of international co-production between Japanese and European filmmakers and brought to you in partnership with Ateliers du Cinéma Européen (ACE), the European producers' association. This event will serve as an opportunity to enhance the knowledge necessary for co-production with European counterparts by providing information such as the pitching of new pictures by European producers, seminars on film distribution and financing, case studies, as well as one-on-one meetings with advisers from Europe and more.
‘KO-PRODUCTION in TOKYO 2014' will be held in association with the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) and feature one-on-one meetings with those Korean producers with plans for a Japan-South Korea co-production project.
