Alliance 4 Development, the co-development initiative for film projects from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland hosted by Locarno Pro, has announced the selected projects for its upcoming 7th edition. More than 70 producers from across the 5 partnering countries sent in outstanding applications, highlighting the singular draw of the program across Europe.
Alliance 4 Development is possible thanks to partnerships with CNC (Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée), France; DGCA-MiC (Direzione Generale Cinema e Audiovisivo del Ministero della Cultura), Italy; FFA (Filmförderungsanstalt), Germany; the Federal Office of Culture (FOC) / MEDIA Desk Suisse, Switzerland; and OFI (Österreichisches Filminstitut), Austria. A4D is also made possible by contributions from Eurimages, which promotes and sponsors one of the initiative's networking events, and from the European Producers Club, an active promoter of the project which also offers consultancy on the issues covered.
The Project Manager of the Alliance 4 Development is Francesca Palleschi.
