EFM’s Martin-Gropius-Bau, Booth #200
Tuesday, February 12th, 2013, 4:30 pm
IFP and the Sundance Institute will again collaborate to promote and support American independent films and filmmakers as part of the European Film Market (EFM) at the Berlin International Film Festival (February 7-17, 2013). The jointly sponsored “American Independents in Berlin,” presented in partnership with the EFM, will showcase 45 films through combined “IFP Selects” and “Sundance at EFM” Market Screenings, with the objective of highlighting new American work to international buyers, distributors, and festival programmers. In addition, the American Independents stand in the EFM’s Martin-Gropius-Bau serves as a community hub and provides support services to attending American filmmakers, companies and organizations.
Case studies of Stacie Passion’s Concussion and Matt Porterfield’s I Used to Be Darker will explore the US independent film journey — from early development and production to world premieres at Sundance and on to the Berlinale.
Panelists
Stacie Passon and Rose Troche // Concussion
Matthew Porterfield and Ryan Zacarias // I Used to be Darker
Moderated by Kim Yutani // Programmer, Sundance Film Festival.
In addition, “American Independents in Berlin” will co-present with neighboring stand “Meet the Docs,” an EFM initiative in collaboration with European Documentary Network (EDN), four conversations comparing key aspects of documentaries in the U.S. and EU – pitching, documentary funds, production, and distribution. All of the afternoon conversations from February 9–12, will be followed by networking receptions generously supported by the EFM.
