Mavi Boncuk | In its sixth year, the Meetings on the Bridge Platform (MoB), aims at creating a platform, a meeting point for the film industry within the frame of the Istanbul Film Festival. The programme continues to bring together Turkish and European producers, directors, scriptwriters and representatives of institutions to provide the opportunity for Turkish filmmakers to make the first international presentations of their feature film projects, and build a platform for co-productions.
* Receiving increasing attention from European film professionals and distributors each year, the Feature Film Development Workshop will take place on 13-14 April. The producers and directors of the projects selected from among the 99 projects submitted this year will be having one-to-one meetings with the jury that includes producers, distributors and the representatives of international institutions including Eurimages, ARTE, Cinelink, Cinemart, Binger Lab, Torino Film Lab, and Fortissimo Films. At the end of the meetings, the selected projects will receive 10,000 USD awarded by Ministry of Culture, 10,000 Euros awarded by CNC, and the 25,000 TL-worth Melodika Post Production support. Moreover, this year, for the first time, one project will receive the Binger Lab Script Advisory Scholarship worth 2,500 Euros.
* The Istanbul Film Festival-Meetings on the Bridge Platform, in collaboration with Medienboard Berlin- Brandenburg and Hamburg Schleswig Holstein Funds with the support of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, is proud to set up for the first time this year, the Turkish and German Co-production Development Fund.

The fund is open to applications of Turkish-German co-productions, which haven't started shooting yet. The projects receiving funds will be announced on 14 April, following the evaluation by the jury consisting of representatives of the three institutions.
