Delegations of selected projects (director and producer) participate in Locarno Pro to present and discuss their projects in the context of a targeted program, structured in individual meetings with potential partners, plenary sessions, round tables, discussions and networking activities. Alliance 4 Development is a platform for French, German and Italian language film professionals to test their market potential and form creative and financial alliances for the early stages of film project development.
Locarno Pro has been hosting this annual initiative since 2015, with support from the Swiss Federal Office of Culture (FOC) / MEDIA Desk Suisse, CNC, MiBAC and the FFA.
For the 2019 edition, four projects were selected among the beneficiaries of existing bilateral development funds between the Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo MiBACT (Italy), the Filmförderungsanstalt (FFA, Germany) and the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée (CNC, France). Three Swiss projects that requested development help through MEDIA Desk Suisse, and that are looking for German, French or Italian co-producers, also participated in the initiative.
