VdR–Pitching is the Festival’s international co-production and financing platform showcasing 15 projects with artistic ambition and international potential ready to be launched in production. This selection of projects is designed for commissioners, streamers and funders, as well as other decision makers looking to join projects in the late development stage.
The Pitching offers the participants the opportunity to present and to thoroughly discuss the form and content of their projects and to find out which contexts and collaborations might be the most relevant for them. Through a live presentation and roundtables with decision makers as well as specific individual meetings, the Pitching encourages international co-productions and helps to finance outstanding film projects addressing an international audience. Every year, international juries are invited to give various awards.
In 2024, 15 projects have been invited to participate to VdR–Pitching:
