The co-production platform Open Doors Hub introduces eight feature film projects from Southeast Asia and Mongolia to potential partners for international collaborations.
In light of the current global health crisis, the Locarno Film Festival will not be taking place in its usual form. However, Locarno 2020 – For the Future of Films will keep offering support to the worldwide film community. Open Doors, by its very definition, is already married to the vision of the 2020 edition.
The Open Doors section is being developed into an online version this year, which will involve all its different branches and remain active throughout and beyond the crisis.
The programs of Open Doors Hub - an international co-production platform for eight selected projects from the South East Asian region and from Mongolia -, Lab and Screenings will maintain their core objectives and will take place during Locarno 2020 in August.
From 6 to 11 August, the selected project teams will be introduced to European and/or international professionals in order to encourage international collaborations, mostly in terms of co-production, funding and distribution, but also for professional training.
Their six-day tailored program alternates between pitching coaching, group discussions, one-to-one meetings, and networking activities with industry decision makers and Festival guests.
On the last day, a professional jury grants either development, production or post-production support to a few winning projects, the biggest award being the Open Doors Grant amounting to CHF 50,000.
