How do you set up coproductions between Canada and Europe, even with not so typical projects? Night of the Kings directed by Philippe Lacôte from Ivory Coast has been selected for TIFF and Venice. Igor Drljača’s Tabija is the Bosnian Canadian director’s anticipated next film, still in post-production due to the pandemic.
How did Canada and Europe get together on these projects and how did they manage to set up the co-production structure with funding from Telefilm Canada and Eurimages?
Presented by European Film Promotion in collaboration with Telefilm Canada and Eurimages.
