The Co-Production Market is designed for producers and film financiers, sales agents, distributors, representatives of TV stations and public funds who are actively participating in international co-productions. Participation is subject to prior approval of application. 

To apply with a project, request a submission form; to apply without a project request an application form from coproductionmarket@berlinale.de. Places for participation are limited. Please note that registration is not linked to EFM registration or Festival accreditation and that a separate application is required. 

Production companies that have completed at least one international co-production can submit feature film projects which are suitable for international co-production, have a budget between 2 and 10 million Euros (1 million for projects from countries in transition), and have 30 percent of their financing in place. Projects should be in the financing stage. The submitted projects go through a strict selection process, and only selected projects can be presented in Berlin.  

For further information, please contact or see Co-Production Market 

Documentary projects are not accepted since the focus is currently on fiction film. No animation projects have been selected to date, as the main focus is on live action. However, animation projects with crossover potential to the arthouse market may be considered. 

Each year, about 25 projects are selected from the submissions.
