The presentation of three work-in-progress films will give an opportunity to directors and producers alike to exchange their views with professionals from the Swiss and European cinematographic industry, thus giving them a chance to benefit from those with experience and competence. Those professionals will evoke topics such as coproduction, funds research and diffusion in some specific cases of genre cinema.
