28 projects in development selected for IFFR\u2019s co-production market<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) announces its selection of 28 film projects for the 39th edition of CineMart, the festival\u2019s co-production market which will take place online from 30 January to 2 February 2022. The lineup of projects in development features romance, dark comedy, adventure and incisive human and social stories from countries including Brazil, Croatia, Japan and South Africa. Five Immersive projects are selected along with seven projects that conclude their BoostNL trajectory which began at the Netherlands Film Festival in September.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head of IFFR Pro, Marit van den Elshout: \u201cWe are proud to present this very diverse selection of projects, showcasing new and familiar talent across an array of genres and cinematic styles. Although we would rather be together in Rotterdam, we have the expertise and experience to offer these projects meaningful exposure and connections to our international community in a safe and responsible way.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CineMart manager Inke Van Loocke: \u201cThe current circumstances under which filmmakers and producers must finance and promote their works warrant a strong platform that can easily adapt and nurture essential and spirited connections. With the backing of CineMart, the selected projects will be ready to take the next steps in their development.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
