In collaboration with Mediefabrikken and Screen Talent Europe, we invite European producers, directors and screenwriters to present their projects and compete for a production grant. In addition, selected participants get offered a complete industry program during the Norwegian Short Film Festival. CineSud is a Dutch gatekeeper for this inspiring Pitching Forum. Due to the covid-19 spread, this years edition will be held online.

International Pitching Forum
