Polish-Lithuanian Co-production Meeting

How to make filmmakers from two neighbouring countries meet? During a unique voyage, the participants of the Polish-Lithuanian Co-production Meeting will meet in the midst of the Baltic Sea. 12 Polish and Lithuanian producers and the leader Matthieu Darras (Torino Film Lab) will sail from Klaipeda on the Brabander sailboard, which is one of the most beautiful sailing ships of Lithuania, and will come to Gdynia on the opening day of the 40^th Gdynia Film Festival.

During the two-day-long expedition, the Polish and Lithuanian producers will present and discuss film projects and search for potential co-producers. The projects presented include all film genres, from feature film of the young filmmakers, through documentaries on the abounding history of the “twin nations”, to animations and animated TV series.

The Polish-Lithuanian Coproduction Meeting is organised by the Lithuanian Film Center, Polish Film Institute, Film Commission Poland and Gdynia Film Festival, and is part of a cycle of events of the Polish Year 2015 initiated by the Lithuanian Film Centre.
