IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FILMARKET HUB
The Filmarket Hub platform and Edinburgh International Film Festival are delighted to announce the selected projects at the Celtic Screen Talent Showcase - a virtual pitch event dedicated to feature films and scripted series in development by talent from the six Celtic nations.
This brand new initiative aims to discover high quality unproduced projects from the Celtic nations and match them with leading companies in the international industry. The event will take place online on the 5th and the 6th of August as part of the industry activity of the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Day one will be dedicated to feature films and day two will showcase scripted series.
Representatives from the selected projects will have the opportunity to pitch and meet executives from companies such as CrossDay Productions, Curzon, Endor Productions, Federation Entertainment, Gaumont, Great Point Media, Head Gear Films, NBCUniversal International Scripted, Red Arrow Studios and Silver Reel.
The Celtic Screen Talent Showcase is supported by Ffilm Cymru Wales and BFI NETWORK, awarding funds from The National Lottery, Northern Ireland Screen, Screen Ireland and Screen Cornwall.
