An informal networking platform reserved to new and upcoming producers.
If you’re looking for new ways to expand your international film industry network and develop your projects, Match Me! is the platform for you. Since 2015, Match Me! provides an informal networking platform for young producers with distinct focus and strong visions.
During the three-day program, three upcoming producers from each partner country have the opportunity to introduce their companies' profile and projects to potential co-producers, funds or sales companies through a tailor-made matchmaking service and a series of professional lunches with industry key players present in Locarno.
Among others, one of the previous Match Me! selected producers was Pedro Duarte (Primeira Idade, Portugal), who was working on the project The Metamorphosis of Birds by Catarina Vasconcelos, which has already won 15 international awards, like the Berlinale Fipresci Award 2020.
